With his team down by four and less than three minutes to play, Andre Drummond was fouled intentionally. It’s a strategy opposing teams will keep employing as long as the Detroit big man is making about 40 percent of his foul shots.
“It comes to a point where I’ve just got to shoot with confidence,” Drummond said. “Tonight, I knew we had the game on the line, so I went back to the basics of that.”
Drummond had 25 points and 18 rebounds and made some crucial free throws down the stretch, helping the Pistons rally to a 104-99 victory over the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
