The Detroit Pistons are off to a red-hot start and are showing that continuity and chemistry matter in the NBA.
The Pistons may not have the most talented roster, and certainly have their weaknesses, especially on offense, where they lack shooting and a consistent secondary scoring option.
But what the Pistons have is an elite defense, which is currently 3rd in the league in defensive rating, 1st in blocks per game and 1st in rim protection.
They also have work ethic and chemistry that is the envy of the league right now.
