Auburn Hills — The double team came earlier than expected.
Andre Drummond looked for the open man out of the post as Indiana Pacers guard George Hill nipped at the ball hoping to pry it from Drummond's hands. After a few agonizing seconds Drummond ripped the ball away and Hill flew away like a bug.
That created the opening for Drummond to dip under center Jordan Hill for a layup.
Drummond is stronger, faster and he comes armed with a new set of moves from a tough summer of coast-to-coast workouts. He showed that when he benched pressed Hill.
