FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 115-108 win over the New York Knicks at Little Caesars Arena
THIRD STRAIGHT WIN – When Andre Drummond misses everything – both dunk attempts, two other shots, all four free throws – and you’re still ahead by eight points at halftime, maybe it’s your night. Drummond’s frustrating night aside – he finished with six points, five turnovers and 14 rebounds – the Pistons won their third straight, playing strong defense and getting another standout performance from their bench. The Knicks came into the game less a 7-14 team and more a team on a three-game winning streak over three likely playoff teams in Boston, New Orleans and Memphis – all but the middle game on the road.
