Detroit — Many of the Pistons’ games have taken a predictable turn, either in the first half or second half, where they let the game get away from them.
Since their COVID issues have escalated, they’ve been without eight of their regular roster players and they’ve had to piece together a rotation with mostly G League players.
For a while, that didn’t matter against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. The mix of regular players and G League players jelled and went from a double-digit deficit in the first half to a double-digit lead in the third quarter.
