FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Sunday afternoon’s 116-108 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans at Little Caesars Arena
1-2 PUNCH – Anthony Davis didn’t have to cut the Pistons’ heart out this time. Davis – averaging 30.4 points over his career against the Pistons, most of any active NBA player – settled for a quiet six points in 26 minutes after playing less than six minutes of the first half due to banging his hip into Blake Griffin. But teammates Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle more than made up for it, combining to score 65 points as the Pistons lost their fourth straight game on the heels of a five-game win streak.
