FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 125-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center
SLUGGISH STARTS – The Pistons got off to a dreadful start, trailing by 12 points five minutes into the game and shooting 2 of 9 when Dwane Casey called timeout. He got Markieff Morris and Langston Galloway into the game for starters Sekou Doumbouya and Bruce Brown, then shortly after waved in Reggie Jackson and Svi Mykhailiuk. That unit got the Pistons rolling in a hurry on offense. The Pistons roared back – actually took an eight-point lead midway through the second quarter – and had one of their highest scoring halves of the season, trailing 70-68 at intermission.
