Three quick observations from Sunday night’s 108-96 loss to the Chicago Bulls at Little Caesars Arena
IRON EIGHT – It was the Pistons fifth game of the week and they were without eight players. Before the first quarter was out, they were down another man. That’s a pretty good recipe for an uphill battle and that’s what the Pistons had on their hands. Chicago took a 10-point lead at the end of a quarter and the Pistons never got it back to single digits. Among the eight missing Pistons – Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee, Cory Joseph, Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, Dennis Smith Jr.
