It isn’t often that you get to go a full week during the NBA season with only one game, but due to the NBA Cup, that is exactly what the Pistons and many other teams in the NBA are dealing with. The Pistons last played Thursday against the Celtics and they looked like a team that hadn’t played basketball in five days.
The Pistons couldn’t hit a shot in that game and after a cold start, the Celtics played like the Celtics and ran the Pistons off the court. After a game like that, you want to turn around quick and play again, but three days later is finally the Pistons chance to bounce back.
