TORONTO — Reggie Bullock scored a buzzer-beater as the Detroit Pistons rallied from a 19-point deficit to defeat the Toronto Raptors 106-104 Wednesday night, making a winner out of coach Dwane Casey in his return to Toronto. Toronto seemed to have the game in control for the first three quarters, but fell behind after a furious fourth-quarter fightback by Detroit to lose its second straight.

Blake Griffin led Detroit with 30 points.

Kawhi Leonard had 26 for Toronto, while Pascal Siakam added 17 and Greg Monroe 14. Kyle Lowry had 14 points and seven assists.

Trailing by as many as 19, Detroit cut the Toronto lead to 11 going into the final quarter. A 23-9 Pistons run to open the quarter gave the visitors a 100-97 lead with less than five minutes remaining.

A Leonard layup made it a one-point game with 3:19 remaining. And he added a free throw to tie the game at 100-100.
