FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 103-100 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Little Caesars Arena
DOGFIGHT IN DETROIT – Dwane Casey talked throughout training camp about the need for NBA teams to plow through adversity. It appears adversity decided to start its NBA tour at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons, shorthanded and dealing with foul trouble to Andre Drummond, saw a 13-point second-half lead dwindle to one with a minute left. The Pistons didn’t score on their next two possessions, which ended with shot-clock violations after misses at the shot-clock buzzer, and the Nets – getting the ball back with 15 seconds left – turned it over under their basket.
