It is so nice to be in a position where a missed box out resulting in a game-winning basket for the Hornets in early-November actually matters, but that is the reality for the current Detroit Pistons. With that win, the Pistons would currently be .500 and looking to get above .500 for the first time in what seems like 10 years (they actually started off last season 2-1 which seems like a fever dream).
Monday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls hurts as despite Chicago shooting the lights out and the Pistons’ defense being poor, they were still in a position to win the game in the 4th quarter.
