After last game against the Hornets that featured a Brandon Miller tip-in at the buzzer, the Detroit Pistons were looking for revenge in Charlotte. There are similarities between the two teams that feature promising young potential on the roster. This was certainly a game in which you could use Ausar Thompson’s defense against Charlotte’s length in LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller - he was upgraded to doubtful for tonight, however, so his return is getting closer!
The start to the first quarter was rough - Jaden Ivey picked up two fouls in the first four minutes and his replacement, Malik Beasley, played for just over a minute before he picked up two fouls as well.
