Jalen Duren got his first start of the season…and it didn’t really make a difference. Just like the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pistons got off to a slow start in the 1st. Killian Hayes had 2 fouls less than 2 minutes into the game and nobody could make any shots
They had 9 points halfway through the quarter until their offense finally started to pick up. They still couldn’t stop Memphis defensively, but they were able to at least keep pace offensively.
The Pistons trailed 34-27 after the 1st frame as they were led by Bojan Bogdanovic with 9 points.
