Pistons, adjusting to life without their playmakers, make too many miscues to win at Washington | Detroit Pistons
WASHINGTON – Turnovers and bench imbalance buried the Pistons at Washington and both of them spring from the same source: the injured list. The Pistons expected to have a killer bench unit this year and they probably will, but for now two of its main actors are miscast as starters and a third is injured. The ripple effect of that is being felt by Dwane Casey’s replacement bench unit, which was outscored 53-31 in Monday’s 115-99 loss to the Wizards.
