Pistons defense: The end of '_etroit Basketball'

Marcus Morris has been a catalyst in training camp to intensify the defense.

During the Detroit Pistons three championship runs, there was one consistent key: defense. At one point during the 2004 championship season, the Pistons held five straight opponents below 70 points per game, an NBA record. Due to the Pistons' defense, some rule changes came the following season. Not long after, the 'D' left Detroit. Marcus Morris and Aron Baynes are helping put the 'D' back in Detroit Basketball.

Four days into training camp, Andre Drummond is impressed with the defensive intensity of the practices.
