There’s one constant with bad basketball teams.
No matter how they’ve played recently, some nights, they surprise you.
That’s really the best way to describe the Detroit Pistons overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Killian Hayes had one of his best games ever as the Pistons pulled out a rare win against a Western Conference contender.
However, the other thing about bad teams is they’re predictable. So, it wasn’t much of a surprise to see the inconsistent Pistons follow that triumphant win with a buzzkill loss, 122-112 to Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night.
