Atlanta — The sky isn’t falling. Not by a longshot.
It just feels like there’s a closer distance between the ground and the clouds.
The Pistons got a big boost, winning five straight following the trade for Blake Griffin and after their loss to Griffin’s former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, the wind seemed to go out of the sails.
The fans at Little Caesars Arena seemed to be awestruck that the Pistons could lose a game with Blake Griffin — an odd juxtaposition, considering the Pistons had lost five straight at home prior to the five consecutive wins in the six-game home stand.
