Pregame Reading:
At the Detroit Free Press, Omari Sankofa II wrote about the lessons Dwane Casey wants the young guys to learn as they play down the stretch of close games.
Rod Beard over at the Detroit News answered your Pistons lottery queries in a mailbag earlier this week.
Keith Langlois, at Pistons.com, wrote about the team’s hope that Sekou Doumbouya ends this season on a stronger note than he entered it.
I thought this bit of cross-sport partnership between the Lions and Pistons was adorable:
“As a fellow number 7 overall pick” indeed.
Enjoy the game tonight, y’all.
