Detroit — It took most of the season, but the Pistons seem to have found their stride. They’re in their best stretch of the season, having won five of the previous seven games. Make it six of eight. Behind Cade Cunningham and Jerami Grant, the Pistons made a comeback at the end of regulation and
Dwane Casey’s said it several times this season — Cade Cunningham has the “it” factor. His rookie season has been dotted with clutch players. He added to his resume Monday night. Cunningham scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to lead the Detroit Pistons (18-47 overall) to a 113-110 overtime victory over the Atlanta
Detroit — It took long enough for Pistons rookie Isaiah Livers to make his NBA debut. A foot injury kept him sidelined for most of the season, but when he was finally healthy enough to play, it was just a one-game appearance, before he had a setback. When Livers rejoined the Pistons for a recent
It’s been nearly a full year since a stress fracture in Isaiah Livers’ right foot prematurely ended his Michigan basketball career. On March 12, 2021, he exited Michigan’s Big Ten tournament victory over Maryland due to discomfort in the foot. Before he was drafted 42nd overall by the Detroit Pistons in July, Livers didn’t think it would
Bulls guards Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist) did individual, non-contact work at the team’s practice on Sunday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago tweets. Joining them was forward Patrick Williams (wrist), who hasn’t played since October. Caruso will need to be checked by a doctor again before being cleared for contact, coach Billy Donovan said.
Detroit — Hearing fans doing a little trash talk during an NBA game is nothing new. Most times, the side talk is a minor distraction that doesn’t impact players. Rarely, it’s the fuel that ignites a player’s competitive nature and turns into a driving force in ripping the heart out of the crowd. Some of
The future looks bright for the Detroit Pistons, even in the midst of a 17-47 season. Cade Cunningham and Saddiq Bey are settling in as primary scorers alongside Jerami Grant, spurring the team’s best basketball of the year and five wins in the past seven games. Yet the Pistons, currently with the NBA’s third-worst record, are likely
March 5th 2022 at 8:21am CST by Dana Gauruder The Bulls were furious at the Bucks’ Grayson Allen after his hard foul against Alex Caruso in January resulted in Caruso fracturing his right wrist. Derrick Jones Jr. appeared to exact some revenge on Friday, though Jones claims his flagrant foul against Allen wasn’t intentional, ESPN’s
After leading by 15 points midway through the second quarter on Friday, the Detroit Pistons did almost everything possible to lose to the Indiana Pacers at Little Caesars Arena. Almost. The Pistons were outscored, 66-56, after the 8:12 mark of the second period. They shot 6-for-22 overall and turned the ball over five times in the
Detroit — On the second game of a back-to-back, after an emotional win over at Toronto on Thursday night, if the Pistons weren’t hitting on all cylinders, it would be understandable. Their long week included five games in seven nights, including a pair of back-to-backs. That’s not an easy path, especially with three of those games on
On Friday, the Detroit Pistons played a game that could’ve easily been a schedule loss. It was their fifth game in seven nights, and second game in a row after defeating the Toronto Raptors on the road Thursday. After a hot start Friday at Little Caesars Arena, the Pistons started to teeter off. The Indiana Pacers
Detroit — The Pistons are in their best streak of the season, and everything points back to their team meeting on Valentine’s Day that could be the turning point. It’s not just statistically; they’re also passing the eye test with fewer turnovers and better ball movement as the hallmarks of their improved play. It’s a
The Detroit Pistons controlled most of the game. Yet, the two biggest plays of the night occurred in the final 15 seconds. With 14 seconds to play, Saddiq Bey drove into the paint as three Toronto Raptors defenders collapsed on him. He finished a tough layup in the middle of traffic to extend Detroit’s lead
Toronto — The past couple of seasons have been a struggle for the Pistons. That is, unless they’re playing the Toronto Raptors. Since he arrived in Detroit, coach Dwane Casey is 8-3 against his former team, including two wins this season. Make it 9-3. The Pistons completed the series sweep this season, with a 108-106
It’s something about the Toronto Raptors. Since Dwane Casey was hired as the Detroit Pistons‘ head coach during the 2018 offseason, they’ve dominated their conference foe. The run continued on Thursday, as the Pistons led by as many as 18 points during a close 108-106 victory over the Raptors in Toronto. The Pistons have now
Toronto — The season is winding down to the last five weeks or so, and already, some of the focus is turning to the offseason and the next stage of the rebuild. There’s still value in the last stretch of the season, with some decisions being made about how the roster will be reshaped and
Coach Dwane Casey‘s experiment of moving Killian Hayes to the bench is working exactly as expected, writes Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press. The second-year point guard is a natural ball-handler, but he often wound up in a secondary role when the Pistons started him alongside Cade Cunningham. Casey made the move on
Toronto — About two weeks ago, the Pistons were in the midst of a miserable skid. Eight straight losses and 12 in their previous 13 games. That included a 30-point debacle to the Dallas Mavericks, a 25-point mauling against the Memphis Grizzlies and a 22-point shellacking to the Charlotte Hornets. An 11-point loss to the
When the Detroit Pistons’ coaching staff moved Killian Hayes to the bench on Jan. 23, it wasn’t to signal a lack of trust in their young point guard. It was an opportunity for continued growth.
