Long time coming, but Pistons grab road win by following Griffin’s lead

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Monday night’s 106-90 win over the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center

1-LONG TIME COMING – If the answer is 68 days, the question is how long had it been between Pistons road victories. Their win at Sacramento snapped a streak of 11 straight road losses dating to a Jan. 10 win at Brooklyn. They can thank Blake Griffin for a little ray of sunshine. In a game where both teams struggled to manufacture scoring, the Pistons more often than not turned to Griffin. He had favorable matchups no matter who guarded him and many – Zach Randolph, Skal Labissiere, Vince Carter, Kosta Koufos, Willie Cauley-Stein – took a turn.
