Detroit Pistons 04/04
Without Griffin, mistake-prone Pistons grope for scoring in loss to Pacers | Detroit Pistons
DETROIT – For the Pistons to score enough to win while Blake Griffin’s knee recuperates, they can’t afford to give away any possessions. They gave away eight in the first 10 minutes on Wednesday. You can guess the rest. They scored 89 points and were fighting uphill from the first few minutes of the game. They got away with a 31-point first half in their last home game – Saturday’s win over Portland, their 11th straight win at Little Caesars Arena – because they defended in swarms and watched Wayne Ellington put on a shooting clinic.
