Film Don’t Lie: Pistons do their best tank job against the Spurs

The Pistons laid a big second half egg Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, losing 136-109 after trailing by just four at the half. This loss was a satisfying result for those in favor of the team tanking (and who isn’t at this point). In order for Detroit to give themselves the best chance at a high draft pick (i.e. talented, cheap player) to add to their young core, tanking the rest of the season is what must be done. Laying eggs in second halves of games (also known as not playing any defense and giving an injured Blake Griffin minutes) is a solid strategy.
