Pistons hang close for 3 quarters, see it slip away in the fourth at Denver

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 115-98 loss to the Denver Nuggets at Pepsi Center

29 AND COUNTING – In their 60th game, the Pistons broke out their NBA-high 29th different starting lineup. After two sluggish starts coming out of the All-Star break, Dwane Casey hinted at lineup changes following Sunday’s 107-104 loss at Portland in which the Pistons fell 19 points down in the first quarter. In were Christian Wood and John Henson, out were Thon Maker and Sekou Doumbouya. Dwane Casey wound up using all 12 of his available players by the mid-point of the second quarter as the Pistons avoided the big early deficit but couldn’t sidestep a seventh straight loss.
