FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 98-95 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz at Little Caesars Arena
1-ANDRE’S RESPONSE – If you were curious how Andre Drummond would respond to missing the cut for the All-Star game, “quite well” is the answer. He finished with 30 points, 24 rebounds, four assists and five blocked shots and dominated the fourth quarter. After the Pistons fell six points behind and got two desperately needed Anthony Tolliver triples to pull within two, Drummond took over. He led a 10-0 run in which he scored the first seven points – a free throw, a dunk from Stanley Johnson, an open-court steal and dunk and a put-back, then a blocked shot that led to a Tobias Harris triple.
