Where to begin?
The Detroit Pistons are bad, and they lost 113-111 to the New York Knicks tonight.
They’re bad at the basketball stuff, and often they’re bad at the intangible stuff like 50/50 balls. I say that because I’ve never seen a team blow so many chances in such a short time when it came to plays like that.
It was bad luck meets bad officiating meets bad basketball.
Leading 111-109 with 25 seconds to go, the Pistons dropped the ball — literally — in more ways than I can count. But I’m gonna try:
First the Pistons did something good, forcing Jalen Brunson into a miss on a 3-pointer with 20.
