While it ultimately finished on a sour note with a 20-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Detroit Pistons exceeded expectations on their first major road trip of the season.
Knocking off the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors back-to-back is a phenomenal achievement and one that shows extremely positive signs for Stan Van Gundy and his crew.
The game against the Lakers appears to be an anomaly, particularly when you take into account that the Pistons as a collective shot just three free throws for the night.
You’ll also be very lucky to find Avery Bradley shooting 4-of-17 from the field and 0-of-5 from three ever again.
