DETROIT - The Detroit Pistons were missing two starters on Wednesday, but their Big Three compensated nicely.
This team's success will be determined in large part by how often and how well Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson play together.
The season-opener was a good sign as the three played key roles in a 103-100 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Little Caesars Arena to get the Dwane Casey Era off to a good start.
Griffin collected 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Drummond tallied 24 points - including his first 3-point basket since Jan.
