The Detroit Pistons picked up their first win of the season Friday night in Houston while going deep into their rotation. The Pistons were forced to expand their rotation due to injuries and notable foul trouble for key players. Through two games, Detroit has struggled with foul trouble in both and it’s becoming a major weakness for them.

In this game, it was especially important for the Pistons to keep their fouls in check. They were already missing three key rotation players - Jaden Ivey, Marcus Sasser and Caris LeVert - to injuries.
