Detroit — The Pistons look like they’re halfway to nowhere again. But as they tipped off the second half of what has been a hugely disappointing regular season with a 116-103 victory in Boston on Wednesday night, at least you could see something on the horizon.
It’s only a glimpse at this point, but the arrival of rookie first-round pick Sekou Doumbouya is a welcome sight just the same.
And even on a team that was sporting its worst first-half record in a quarter-century after 41 games — matching that 14-27 start from Grant Hill’s rookie season in 1994-95 — there’s a growing sense this current youth movement just might be worth watching.
