FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Sunday afternoon’s 114-98 loss to the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center
1-SAME STORY – For the second straight game coming out of the All-Star break, the Pistons were taken out of the game when Stan Van Gundy went to his bench. The starters weren’t setting the world on fire at the outset, perhaps, but it was still very much a ballgame when Van Gundy began sprinkling his subs into the game in the first quarter. But over a span of 6:21 spanning the first and second quarters while Langston Galloway and Jameer Nelson made up Detroit’s backcourt, Charlotte turned a six-point lead into a 23-point cushion.
