Orlando — Before he started his postgame media comments, Pistons center Isaiah Stewart looked down at the stat sheet. “51? That’s tough,” Stewart said, still shaking his head in disbelief. Saddiq Bey had just dropped 51 points in the win over the Orlando Magic on Thursday night, and it could have been more. Maybe 60.

If you saw the injury report and care even a little bit about the NCAA Tournament, you probably didn’t watch a single second of this game. And I wouldn’t blame you at all if that was the case. However, you missed a masterful performance by Saddiq Bey. The Pistons started off this game rough, as
Orlando — With Killian Hayes’ move to the second unit, he’s starting to find some smoother sailing and feeling more comfortable in his play. One of the benefits is getting to play more with big man Marvin Bagley III. The two have found some chemistry, with Bagley being the lob target that enables Hayes to

In what has become an annual tradition, I typed up some brief notes on who to watch during the first day of our weekend-long basketball holiday also known as the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Miami — Because of injuries, the Pistons were winging it for a few stretches in Tuesday’s loss to the Miami Heat. With injuries to Cade Cunningham, Hamidou Diallo and Frank Jackson, their only option available at shooting guard was Rodney McGruder.
