CHICAGO – How much room do the Pistons have for improvement? Stand Andre Drummond up and have him stretch his arms out as far as he can. That much room.
But after two games, their record could not possibly be better.
“We got a win. That’s the beautiful thing about it,” Dwane Casey said after Ish Smith’s driving layup with 5.4 seconds left put the Pistons ahead by two points and Blake Griffin’s defensive stand against Zach LaVine after that won it, 118-116, in Chicago’s home opener. “A win’s a win on the road.”
Casey has been banging the drum about handling adversity since he gathered the Pistons in Ann Arbor last month for training camp with an emphasis on winning tough road games.
