When the opening tip went up, Andre Drummond was called for a foul before a second even went off the clock. It looked like it would be a long day for the Pistons big man. After another quick foul he would be replaced by Eric Moreland, and Moreland’s early effort (a quick six points and five rebounds, including an impressive end-of quarter over-the-back layup) made us forget about Andre Drummond.
Whether it was seeing Eric Moreland play with such energy and getting a fire lit under him, or realizing he was facing John Henson and Thon Maker, when Andre Drummond re-entered the game in the second quarter, he was a new man.
