The Canadian club is far from being in optimal shape, which immediately affected the result. “Reptiles” were in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference and this was definitely not part of the team’s plans. Toronto chalked up just one win when they beat the Knicks (100:83). In all other fights Nick Nurse’s wards did not look like themselves. The club has returned home from a disastrous performance in New Orlean and is ready to start from scratch. The Raptors need to reconsider their strategy for the game and quickly rebuild, as this team clearly has no place at the bottom of the tournament table.
Detroit finally ended their losing streak two days ago, beating Boston at home (96:93). True, Casey’s wards did not manage to rejoice for a long time. The very next day the Celts took revenge, beating the pistons with a score of 122:120. Thus, after six games played, the Pistons have one victory. It is not surprising that the team from the “city of motors” is ranked last in the East. The fight against Milwaukee Detroit runs the risk of playing without Blake Griffin. In the previous fight he returned to the floor after a concussion and even scored 13 points. However, in the first match against Boston he did not play, but that did not stop the Pistons from defeating the Celtics.
