New Orleans — There was a stark difference in a two-game span for the Pistons in getting to the free-throw line. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, they had a season-low six attempts (and five makes). The Pistons flipped the script on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, with season highs, going 29-of-35. The momentum

Rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu has started the past two games for the shorthanded Bulls, and Sam Smith of Bulls.com writes that he’s earned that opportunity. A Chicago native, Dosunmu played well in his first start, notching 11 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in nearly 42 minutes during the team’s win over Denver on Monday.
On Wednesday, Hamidou Diallo delivered one of his best games of the season. And he did so while donning a face mask, making him the latest Detroit Pistons player to uphold Rip Hamilton’s legacy in that category. Hamilton famously wore a mask to protect his nose after he broke it twice during the 2003-04 season.
Detroit — In two of the Pistons’ first three possessions against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Killian Hayes drove to the basket, getting an advantage on his defender. He missed the first short jumper, but the second-year guard made a 16-footer, for the Pistons’ first basket of the game. It was a good beginning to
Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey doesn’t have a true big man, a shooting guard with a consistent shot and a second starter who has been in the NBA more than a year and a half – the veterans come off the bench. He has a small forward who showed promise as a spot-up shooter and defender in his
Detroit — When it came down to crunch time, the numbers didn’t matter for Cade Cunningham. He had started the game 4-of-16 going into the overtime. Then he clicked it into another gear. Cunningham scored the Pistons’ last eight points of the extra period — all on drives to the rim — and the last
It appeared the Detroit Pistons were heading toward their second-straight collapse on Wednesday night. A late run — and an impressive overtime performance by Cade Cunningham — nearly helped the Pistons snap a nine-game losing streak. But the final moment belonged to Wizards forward and Flint native Kyle Kuzma, who knocked down a game-winning 3
Detroit — The Pistons looked to be on their way to ending their eight-game losing streak, but somewhere in the second half, things got away from them. The Oklahoma City Thunder, also on an eight-game skid, erased the deficit and steamed ahead for a win. It’s just another setback in a tough season for the
Jerami Grant has been through this before. The Detroit Pistons star was drafted by the “Trust the Process”-era Philadelphia 76ers in 2014 — a team that started the season 0-17. Grant won 28 total games during his first two seasons in the NBA. In his third season, he finally experienced winning. The Sixers traded Grant
The 4-19 Pistons, losers of nine straight games, are currently sole owners of the NBA’s worst record. Happily from a big-picture perspective, intriguing rookie guard Cade Cunningham is showing promising early signs of development, details James L. Edwards III of The Athletic. Cunningham was shelved for Detroit’s entire preseason and the early portion of the
Detroit — During Jerami Grant’s first season with the Pistons, he was just trying to find his legs. Just trying to find an identity on the court and how he would fit with a new team after signing a three-year contract worth $60 million. It’s also about finding a fit with a new city and
Before their game Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Detroit Pistons paid tribute to the victims of last week’s tragic mass shooting at Oxford High School. The Pistons marched onto the court for pregame warmups in Oxford Wildcats T-shirts. John Mason, the team’s longtime PA announcer, gave a dedication and asked for a moment
Cade Cunningham is accustomed to winning. As a high school senior, he was the best player on a stacked Montverde Academy (Florida) team that won all 25 of its games. As a college freshman last year, he led Oklahoma State to a 21-9 record — the team’s best winning percentage since 2013 — and to
Detroit — The Pistons are a different team when their shots are falling and they’re taking care of the ball. They’re pretty much the same team that they’ve shown all season when they turn the ball over and don’t shoot well. Those two extremes were the story of an encouraging first half, then a flip-the-script
Cade Cunningham had a career night, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Detroit Pistons from enduring one of their worst losses of the season. The Pistons led by 18 points in the first half, but fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, 114-103, following a massive fourth-quarter effort by OKC. Cunningham scored a
Rod Beard | The Detroit News Detroit — The Pistons honored the victims of the Oxford High School shooting by wearing special T-shirts during their pregame warmups on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena. In their first home game since last week’s school shooting, each of the Pistons players donned a white shirt with the high
Spurs forward Keldon Johnson was apparently almost drafted by the Cavaliers. Johnson discussed his near-selection in an interview with Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter video link). The Cavaliers instead opted to draft Dylan Windler with the No. 26 pick in the 2019 draft, while Johnson was ultimately drafted by San Antonio with the No.
The Pistons finished their disappointing western road trip with another close, but not-so-close loss in Phoenix. Their eighth-straight defeat was another exhibit in the difference between good teams and rebuilding teams in the NBA Of the eight losses, seven came against teams with a record of .500 or better. Each of the Pistons’ four victories
We’re just past the one-fourth mark of the NBA season, and some Detroit Pistons fans have already begun to look toward the future. It makes sense. The Pistons own the NBA’s worst record at 4-18. Some expected them to make a leap after going 20-52 last season and adding Cade Cunningham. Rebuilds are rarely that
