After the Pistons’ 35-point loss in Monday’s matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, there were plenty of causes for concern. Coach Dwane Casey wasn’t happy with the rebounding, turnovers, fouls and overall effort the team showed.
Against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, the Pistons showed some moxie, playing without three of their starters, and leading for most of the middle two quarters, before falling to the Knicks, 108-100, at Madison Square Garden.
Jerami Grant had 18 points, four rebounds and two blocks, Saben Lee 14 points and four assists, Frank Jackson 12 points and seven rebounds and Josh Jackson 10 points, five rebounds and four assists for the Pistons (1-2), who finish the preseason on Friday at Little Caesars Arena against the Philadelphia 76ers.
