DETROIT – Great time for the best win of the year.
You could argue about the “best win” part, though it was certainly the most lopsided – a 26-point thrashing of a Denver team that began the night with a 37-15 record atop the West.
You can’t argue about the propitious timing, though.
Coming off of the psychological battering of losing on Saturday to the Clippers after holding a 23-point lead with 17 minutes to play, the Pistons were in dire need of something to salve their wounds.
“We played with the same energy we had in that Clippers game but sustained it for the full game,” Andre Drummond said.
