FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Saturday night’s 111-101 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Little Caesars Arena
WILLIAMS EXPLODES – A 25-point lead in the first half isn’t an ironclad guarantee of victory, but a 19-point lead late in the third quarter should be pretty safe. Not when Lou Williams is in the building, apparently. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year probably secured a repeat on the strength of Saturday’s game alone, scoring 18 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter to hand the Pistons a stinging loss.
