Detroit — With a new starting lineup that included Luke Kennard and Reggie Bullock, the Pistons have something that they haven’t gotten much of in recent weeks.
Not just wins, but spacing.
Having two above-average 3-point shooters kept the Boston’s defense honest on the perimeter and opened some passing lanes and cutting lanes inside. It was a different dynamic, as the Pistons ended their six-game losing streak with a different-looking first half on the offensive end.
It began with the first unit, which got into a rhythm hitting outside shots, which made everything else easier.
