The Portland Trail Blazers and Detroit Pistons played a barn-burner on Sunday evening. If barns were burned by missed threes, that is. After building an 18-point lead in the second half, the Pistons succumbed to a big offensive run by Anfernee Simons, aided somewhat by prior scoring from Jerami Grant that kept the game in reach. Portland cut the lead down to three in the final minute, but most of their non-Simons shots were coming from outside. They couldn’t hit the deep shot late, or for most of the game. The Blazers went 15-50, 30% behind the arc, the Pistons 9-28, 32.
