Auburn Hills — In the first quarter against the Thunder, Andre Drummond had the ball on the wing, above the 3-point line and wanted to pass. Some fans in the crowd at Little Caesars Arena gasped; others yelled for Drummond to take the shot.
Drummond missed the shot and almost everyone in the crowd groaned.
A couple possessions later, Blake Griffin was on the wing and tried to bank in a jump shot. It missed miserably, clanging off the backboard after missing the rim completely.
The head-scratching plays are symbolic of the way the game went for the Pistons, as the Thunder dominated and ended the Pistons’ five-game win streak.
