Van Gundy wants Pistons’ Leuer to keep shooting

Auburn Hills — Early in Sunday’s matchup against the Boston Celtics at The Palace, Pistons forward Jon Leuer to a good look at a 3-pointer off a pass from Reggie Jackson and knocked it down.

About two minutes later, he put up another attempt. It missed, but even still, it was a good sign — Leuer wasn’t shying away from shots beyond the arc and was trying to regain his confidence from long range.

Leuer, a career 35 percent shooter on 3-pointers, has seen his numbers dip a bit, down to 32 percent in his first season with the Pistons.
