Minneapolis — After the Pistons traded for Blake Griffin last season, team owner Tom Gores said that they could use a few more stars like Griffin to get to where they wanted to be.
Griffin has become the Pistons’ centerpiece, but if they’re going to take the next step toward becoming a perennial playoff team — or beyond — they could use a few more players like Reggie Bullock as well.
In Wednesday’s win against the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime, Griffin (34 points) was the catalyst but Bullock was the engine, with a career-high 33 points.
