Auburn Hills — What a difference a day can make.
In the span of about 24 hours, Pistons rookie Stanley Johnson experienced some of the ups and downs of the NBA. After admitting he was nervous before his debut Tuesday in Atlanta, Johnson had a subpar outing, with seven points (3-for-10), four rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.
The next night, at home against Utah, Johnson followed with a similar stat line: 11 points (3-for-10) and five rebounds. The difference, though, was the way Johnson played and his impact.
He attacked. He made a 3-pointer.
