FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Saturday night’s 103-101 loss to the Sacramento Kings at Little Caesars Arena
BOOMER SOONER – Blake Griffin won the battle, but Buddy Hield won the Oklahoma Civil War. The two ex-Sooners carried their offenses, but Hield sparked a fourth-quarter rally that saw Sacramento come back from 12 down. The Pistons led 93-81 with 6:21 to play but the Kings used an 11-0 run to pull within a point. They took a lead on Hield’s 3-pointer with 1:11 to go but Griffin’s layup with 56 seconds left put the Pistons back ahead.
