DeMar DeRozan has said that he tried to be more aggressive in the Toronto Raptors' game against the Detroit Pistons.
The shooting guard scored 19 points during the team's 112-91 win over the Pistons.
The 24-year-old told reporters: "Just being more aggressive, that was my goal. I know my shot wasn't falling for me, so I just tried to do other things, be aggressive and try to create for my teammates.
"We just started off terrible. We didn't have any legs and we told ourselves that we can have no excuses. We had to pick it up because that wasn't us in the first half. We came out in the third quarter and picked it up."
The victory leaves the Raptors three wins clear of the Brooklyn Nets in the Atlantic Division.
