FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 111-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Little Caesars Arena
A WIN’S A WIN – It wasn’t a work of art, but it was worthy of hanging in a gallery coming on the heels of the two worst offensive performances of the season. The Pistons – who had the NBA’s No. 1 offense over 15 games from Feb. 1 through Sunday – scored 75 points in losing at Brooklyn on Monday and came back with 74 two nights later at Miami. Throw out an ugly second quarter in which they had to rally to score 19 points and the offense rebounded to beat a badly depleted opponent.
