FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Saturday night’s 118-116 win over the Chicago Bulls at United Center
BACK AND FORTH –The Pistons always knew they’d be a better team the more games and minutes they got out of Blake Griffin, but the disparity in how they’ve played with him as opposed to without him through two games has been glaring. It was never more apparent than it was in the first half at Chicago when the Pistons outscored the Bulls by 20 points in Griffin’s 15 minutes but were outscored by 18 in the nine minutes he sat.
