Andrea Bargnani scored 21 points, Hedo Turkoglu added 11 points and a season-best 11 assists and the Toronto Raptors beat the short-handed Detroit Pistons 94-64 on Wednesday night.

Detroit shot 28 percent from the floor and matched its lowest point total since the shot clock was implemented for the 1954-55 season.

The Pistons, who have lost six straight, played without Ben Gordon (ankle), Richard Hamilton (hamstring) and Tayshaun Prince (back). Charlie Villanueva went 0 of 7 from the field trying to play through a foot injury.

Jarrett Jack added 14 points for Toronto, while Chris Bosh had 12 points and nine rebounds.

Reserve Will Bynum had 12 points for Detroit. The starters were a combined 11 of 42 as the Pistons finished 12 points below their previous season low.

Detroit scored 64 points against San Antonio on Feb. 21, 1999, and Utah on March 3, 2005.

Toronto led 54-37 at halftime, holding the Pistons to 31 percent shooting. Rodney Stuckey went 1 of 11 for Detroit, which would have been down by a bigger margin if not for 14 offensive rebounds in the first two quarters.

The Raptors went ahead by 23 points midway through the third quarter, as Detroit continued to struggle from the field, and eventually led by as many as 31.

NOTES: Detroit missed its first seven 3-point attempts before Jonas Jerebko hit one with 3:21 left in the third. ... Bynum appeared to hit a long 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer, but a replay review ruled that the shot clock had expired with 0.5 seconds left in the quarter. After the review, Marco Belinelli hit a 55-foot jumper, but it was also waved off by a replay review. ... The last time the franchise had fewer than 64 points was Fort Wayne's 86-63 loss to the Syracuse Nationals on March 4, 1954. Fort Wayne beat the Minneapolis Lakers 19-18 in the NBA's lowest-scoring game on Nov. 22, 1950.
