So, turns out those good vibes from the win over the Toronto Raptors this week were short-lived?
For a half, the Detroit Pistons looked like a team capable of beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. However, a 36-point quarter by Portland out of the half put the Pistons in a hole that they couldn’t dig themselves out of as they fell, 124-101.
It wasn’t all bad, despite the lackluster second half and the crooked final.
Jerami Grant, in the midst of a month-long slump, responded nicely with 30 points (on a much-needed 10-of-19 showing from the field) and 4 assists.
