Detroit — It’s the preseason, so the score didn’t really matter. Heck, in the midst of a pandemic, the score — the Knicks won 90-84 — really didn’t matter at all.
That there’s basketball to watch at all — not in a bubble — could be the headline by itself.
The Pistons played their first game in exactly nine months and although there weren’t any spectators in attendance at Little Caesars Arena on Friday night, there was basketball.
The new-look Pistons, buoyed by a new roster that had just four players back from last season’s roster, got off to a sloppy start with turnovers, but had a decent first showing after a long layoff.
