FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Sunday afternoon’s 128-123 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets at Little Caesars Arena
CRAZY WIN – The Pistons and Denver Nuggets played the highest-scoring game in NBA history, a 186-184 double-overtime Pistons win on Dec. 13, 1983. It looked like the Nuggets decided to re-enact that game – but didn’t let the Pistons in on the secret – when Denver spurted to a 28-7 lead, a fitting score for a Super Bowl Sunday matinee. Dwane Casey burned two timeouts in the first five minutes to try to stop the bleeding, eventually subbing out four of his five starters by the time the game was five minutes old.
