The Detroit Pistons are not in the business for moral victories. Heck, no NBA team is.
But, Detroit came just close to dropping a strong competitor like Houston and walked away with some vital keys to success for Friday night.
The question is always the same for the Pistons, however. They know their opponent. They have the knowledge. But, can they use that information to knock them off?
The answer is yes.
Not just because the NBA is “Where Amazing Happens”. Blake Griffin‘s offensive output this season, although a sample size, is a problem that teams need to scheme for.
