FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Sunday afternoon’s 131-108 win over the Chicago Bulls at Little Caesars Arena
INSTANT REPLAY – The Pistons moved their clocks ahead one hour overnight, then moved them back about 40 hours to Friday night and basically did a repeat – flat first half, though not quite to the extremes that saw them build a 21-point deficit for themselves at Chicago, dominant second half. A 42-point third quarter, their highest-scoring third quarter of the season, turned a six-point halftime lead into a 23-point cushion going into the fourth quarter. That was enough to earn the fourth quarter off for Blake Griffin (28 points on 10 of 14 shooting, six rebounds, five assists in 27 minutes), Andre Drummond (16 points, 15 rebounds in 30 minutes) and Reggie Jackson (21 points, 5 of 8 3-point shooting, six assists) – a big deal given the significance of Monday’s game at Brooklyn, where the winner will be in the No.
