FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 125-88 loss to the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse
TURNOVER EPIDEMIC – Turnovers have mushroomed into a sudden and colossal problem for the Pistons. They came into the game averaging 18.7 over the past three games after a season-high 24 despite beating Washington on Wednesday, though they nearly squandered a 22-point lead in the process. The trend continued at Indiana as the Pistons committed three turnovers on their first four possessions and XX for the game. A stretch of four consecutive turnovers early in the third quarter turned a reasonable 11-point deficit into an 18-point hole.
