Raptors stay alive in the fight for 8th

The Pistons’ Charlie Villanueva guaranteed a victory over the Toronto Raptors, but in the end he should have kept his predictions to himself. The Raptors proved they weren’t ready to concede anything yet to the Chicago Bulls by coming out of Motown with a 111-97 win over the Detroit Pistons.

Andrea Bargnani was the high scorer on the night with 33 points, and Amir Johnson added a career high 26 points in the win over his former team. After the game, NBA TV caught up with Andrea for some post game thoughts on the win:

With one game remaining for the Raptors and two remaining for the Chicago Bulls, we’ll know the fate of the NBA Eastern Conference 8th spot by Wednesday night…

As for Charlie V., at least he acknowledged his poor predictions record!
