Detroit — The Pistons have slid in the past two weeks, but there’s no sense of panic as the regular season winds down and the standings get tight for the playoff push.

In their poor start against the Denver Nuggets — with only nine points in the first quarter — the Pistons have begun to struggle in first halves more and trying to find an offensive rhythm has become a priority so that they don’t fall in too big a deficit.

Coach Dwane Casey said that there are no changes coming; it’s just trying to right the ship and figure out how to be more consistent in the opening minutes and the first half.
