- DeMar DeRozan posterized Pistons forward Anthony Tolliver into oblivion on Wednesday night with a go-ahead dunk in the final seconds of regulation.
- While the Raptors would need overtime to win, DeRozan’s dunk was an exclamation point on a fantastic night in which he scored 42 points to lead Toronto to its sixth straight win.
- With the victory, the Raptors became the first team in the league to officially seal a spot in the playoffs, with 18 games remaining in the season.
DeMar DeRozan is having a career year, leading the Raptors to the top of the Eastern conference, and on Wednesday he put down arguably his most impressive performance of the season.

DeRozan hit a step back jumper with 17 seconds remaining to give the Raptors a 111-109 lead, but Blake Griffin would quickly match on the other end for the Pistons, and then give Detroit the lead with a made free throw to cap off the possession.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
