LOS ANGELES – The Pistons have a challenger for the season’s best win. And a blueprint for how they can go undefeated over the second half of the season.
It’s going to require some sleight of hand from Ed Stefanski, who simply needs to trade for a player from every future opponent in time to prompt an emotional groundswell from Pistons teammates and make all of their returns as triumphant as Blake Griffin’s.
“I hope we can play all the ex-teams,” Dwane Casey said after the 109-104 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, fueled by Griffin’s 44-point tour de force.
