On the Raptors' side, Tagore's three-point shooting was off this quarter, going 0-for-3, but Zhang Yu went 2-for-4 and Wang Yi went 4-for-5.
The Raptors used their three-point shooting to take a three-point lead over the Pistons this quarter.
Then, in the third quarter, the Raptors' five-defender lineup stepped up again.
The other players on the opposing team couldn't get anything going, so they had to leave it to Antoine.
Antoine kept trying to take them on one-on-one.
By the second half of the third quarter, Antoine had clearly run out of gas, and his efficiency in isolation had fallen off.
The Raptors took advantage of his missed shots to launch fast breaks.
Antoine was quick for a center, but he still couldn't keep up with guards and small forwards.
He was even a little slower than Dauding.
So even if the Raptors couldn't create a five-on-four advantage in the frontcourt, they could still play four-on-four.
For NBA players, a four-on-four situation meant there was a lot of room on the court.
A simple screen could often create a huge opening.
So, in the second half of the third quarter, the Raptors' transition defense finally started producing fast breaks.
Once they got going, they quickly pushed the lead past ten points in just four minutes.
The Pistons' bench players cut the lead to five during the stretch between rotations, but when Wang Yi came on in the fourth quarter,
he sank seven three-pointers in five minutes. Add in his layups and fouls drawn, and he racked up 25 points in those five minutes.
He completely broke the Pistons.
In the end, Tagore had only been sharp from three in the first quarter, making three points' worth of shots. His three-point shooting wasn't much good in the last three quarters.
