The Pistons have been one of the league's best defenses this season, but still struggle with fouling opponents too much. On Monday night, the problem reared its ugly head again as superstar Cade Cunningham fouled out with over 8 minutes left in a close game. Cade has evolved into an all-around star for Detroit, but it's all for naught if he can't even stay in the game.
The Pistons lead the NBA in fouls
On the season, Detroit ranks first in the league in fouls committed per game at 23.2. Even worse than the overall volume of team fouls is the individual foul trouble for key players.
