I'll give them a lot of credit. They're really good and I thought their defense was very intense and good.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Before Wednesday’s tipoff, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy heaped big praise on the Utah Jazz.
“I think they have flown under the radar all year,” Van Gundy said of the Jazz in his pregame interview. “They are a really good team.”
It didn’t help the Pistons any that they clearly saw Utah on the radar. On this night, the Jazz overpowered Detroit for a 97-83 victory in Utah’s final game at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
