If the Detroit Pistons really wanted to treat their fans to something special on Fan Appreciation Night, they should have let people in for free.
After all, it’s not like the product on the court was worth the price of admission.
With the Chicago Bulls, the most middling of middling teams in the NBA, in town, the leftovers of the Pistons closed out the home portion of their schedule like only they could.
They turned it over a million times (20 times leading to a season-worst 36 points) and they played zero defense (maybe accurate) as Demar DeRozan (39 points) and the Bulls cruised to a sweat-free win, 127-105, on Thursday.
