Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 23 points, Jalen Duran had 21 points and 18 rebounds and the Detroit Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors 117-105 to wrap up their first playoff berth since 2018-19.
When the Toronto Raptors picked Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Jonathan Mogbo and Ulrich Chomche in the 2024 NBA Draft, they may have secured the franchise's next superstar.
Despite a double-digit lead in their last matchup, Toronto faltered in the final frame. Now, they have the opportunity to shore up the defence and take one back.
