DETROIT – Sweeping conclusions about anything revealed in NBA preseason games are formed at your own peril, but the last five minutes of the third preseason game should give Pistons fans – and the Pistons themselves, for that matter – a jolt of optimism about their situation at point guard.
With Reggie Jackson and Derrick Rose both clocked out for the night, Dwane Casey turned the game over to Tim Frazier and Bruce Brown in the last five minutes.
The Pistons outscored the Cavaliers by 11 points over that time to win by four.
Frazier scored five points on two shots while picking up an assist and Brown scored on a layup – set up by Frazier – and made 3 of 4 free throws.
