The Detroit Pistons survived a season-high 27 turnovers, some lethargic play, a third-quarter collapse, and a Malik Beasley ejection in a 115-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
It was Exhibit A in how deceiving box scores can be. You look at a 21-point win in a game where you hold an opponent to 30% shooting and 15% from deep and think the Pistons must be pretty happy with their performance.
However, I imagine both teams will want to wash the stink of this game off of themselves and move on. Detroit took a 23-point lead into halftime but allowed the Nets to get within six points before the third quarter was over.
