Depleted Pistons clamp down after 37-point Houston first quarter to nab big win

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Saturday night’s 108-101 win over the Houston Rockets at Little Caesars Arena

1-BOUNCE-BACK WIN –That’s not a game you figure the Pistons are going to win. Not on the second night of a back to back, not without four key players including Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson, not against one of the NBA’s best teams with a day’s rest under its belt. Yeah, Houston was minus James Harden, but the Rockets landed in the wrong town if they expected sympathy. The third quarter was the difference in this one.
