Auburn Hills – Marcus Morris showed Detroit fans some serious hustle during the Pistons' open scrimmage at The Palace on Saturday.
He played with fire and attitude. He hit outside shots and he bulled inside for buckets to the delight to about 6,000 Pistons fans. Team Hustle beat Team Grind 72-64 in a game that started nicely but deteriorated into a glorified scrimmage that ended 36 seconds early because of attrition.
"We had to end the scrimmage with 36 seconds or I had to play," joked Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy. "So we ended the scrimmage."
The Pistons will take Sunday off to heal a new set of injuries, which left the team light players at the end.
