Pistons' roster turnover showing in turnover issues
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsWhen a team goes through a makeover like the Detroit Pistons, it takes time for the team to gel.
In the Detroit Pistons' loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, the Pistons committed 23 turnovers. That nearly matched the 24 total turnovers they had in their previous two games. If you look deeper into the turnovers so far this season, it is evident that this team still doesn't quite mesh.
Unfortunately, Basketball-Reference.com and stats.nba.com do not break down turnovers. They just tally them into one category. Fortunately, I am a nerd and will comb through the play-by-play with a notepad and pencil and find out what the box score doesn't say.
