On the last day of the NBA regular season the Detroit Pistons whacked the Chicago Bulls by 32 points in a meaningless game. Beating tanking teams was pretty much how it went down for the Pistons during the last month of the season. Certainly, the “Best Below-Average Team” in the NBA award goes to Detroit. Will there be cake?
The tanking Bulls mostly sat their top players, save for prized rookie Lauri Markkanen and Bobby Portis. The Pistons were again without the services of Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin and Reggie Bullock.
