Detroit — Christian Wood was a blur on the floor. At 6-foot-10, rather than just settling in the paint and calling for the ball, he flashed through the post, to the wing and called for the ball. He put up a 3-pointer and it fell through.
All in the plan.
It’s been a good start to the season for Wood, who has flashed plenty of brilliant stretches, but just as he’s made coach Dwane Casey take notice of the positive plays, Wood has balance it with anguish on some others because of missing a defensive switch or not closing out on an offensive player, leading to an open 3-pointer.
