Three quick observations from Monday night’s 129-103 win over the Denver Nuggets at Little Caesars Arena
FULL 48 – For a while there, it appeared the Pistons and Nuggets were about to challenge the record for the NBA’s highest-scoring game between … the Pistons and Nuggets. The Pistons won that 1983 game 186-184 and it took triple overtime. Five minutes into Monday’s biggest win of the season with the Nuggets ahead 20-18, they were on pace for a 192-173 score in regulation. Down three starters, Denver – on top of the Western Conference with a 37-15 record at tipoff – didn’t have the firepower to keep it up.
