Can you call it a revenge game if both sides part amicably? I’m asking for old friend Jerami Grant, who faced the Detroit Pistons for the first time since being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in the offseason.
Grant got his “revenge,” whatever revenge means in this context, against the Pistons to the tune of 36 points and knocking down five three-pointers in Portland’s 135-106 win over his former team.
Not that the Pistons made him work very hard for his points. Detroit lost Marvin Bagley early in the first half, and after already being down Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes and Isaiah Livers, the cracks in the integrity of the lineup started to show pretty immediately.
