Detroit – Everything went right for the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, kicking off the second half of a season in which seemingly everything has gone wrong.
That’s especially true for second-year Piston Svi Mykhailiuk, who put up career-highs in points (21) and 3-pointers made (five) off the bench on 6-of-9 shooting.
Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said at practice Friday that for both Mykhailiuk, 22, and rookie wing Sekou Doumbouya, 19, who also put up a career-high 24 in the win against the Celtics, Wednesday’s showing is proof that while the Pistons have not had great luck with team health, they’re making the most of the situation.
