Detroit — Andre Drummond wasn’t trying to send a message about his perceived snub after the All-Star reserves were announced on Tuesday night.
His performance said otherwise.
Drummond had his best games of his career, posting an All-Star-worthy stat line: season highs of 30 points and 24 rebounds and added six blocks, four assists, and three steals. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it’s the first time a player has notched such a stat line, since blocks and steals became official statistics in 1973-74.
It still wasn’t enough.
The Pistons squandered a nine-point lead in the final 3:17 of regulation, then gave up a critical 9-0 run in a 54-second span in overtime and fell to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night at Little Caesars Arena.
