Auburn Hills — The numbers against the Hornets were surprising: Langston Galloway, 1-of-7, including 0-of-5 on 3-pointers. Luke Kennard, 3-of-8, and just 1-of-5 from beyond the arc. Wayne Ellington, 4-of-9 and 3-of-8 on 3-pointers.

And that’s from a decent game.

Consider Ellington’s 3-of-12 (2-of-9 from beyond the arc) and a combined 4-of-12, plus 1-of-6 on 3-pointers in the loss to the Thunder.

Among the Pistons’ problems are an outage from their main 3-point shooters, which has impacted both the starting group and the bench as they make a late push to secure a spot in the playoffs.
