Detroit — Bojan Bogadanovic, one of the Pistons’ few veteran players, knew the question about his young rookie was coming.
“A lot of media is going to look at that last play that we called the timeout, but we lost the game in the first quarter,” Bogdanovic said Wednesday night after Detroit’s failed comeback attempt against the Chicago Bulls.
The possession Bogdanovic referred to was a play with 9.7 seconds left when Jaden Ivey, the inbounder, signaled for a timeout when the Pistons didn’t have any remaining. The crucial error resulted in a technical foul, which gave the Bulls a free throw and possession of the ball.
