For the first time in nine months, we had Detroit Pistons basketball.
Unfortunately, it looked much the same as it did in March, and Detroit never found its way in a 90-84 loss to the New York Knicks.
The first quarter was predictably sloppy, but Detroit was never quite able to correct the rust-induced errors leading to 22 turnovers. The main bright spot in the starting lineup was Blake Griffin, who scored 9 points while adding 7 rebounds and 5 assists. More importantly, Blake looked healthy and operated well on both ends of the floor with a new group of teammates.
