I truly feel bad that every defensive breakdown I do ends up being from such a negative perspective. There are areas (and individuals) where the Detroit Pistons defense is performing well that could be highlighted.

New York — The Pistons have been hampered by injuries and in the process, they’ve had to find new combinations and rotations to try to get things done.

The Detroit Pistons were able to cut a 22-point second-half deficit to 5 behind strong bench play, but the team’s anemic offense and complete lack of size eventually allowed the New York Knicks to prevail 105-91 Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Pistons simply had no answer for the size of Mitchell Robinson off
New York — It was just one shot in one game, but it could turn into something bigger, if Killian Hayes can build on it. With 2:53 left in the game, Hayes got the ball from Hamidou Diallo and stepped into a 3-pointer and shot it with confidence. The big shot put the Pistons up

There may not be a bigger disappointment early on than the New York Knicks. Coming off a revelation of a season last year, they’ve struggled to start this season. Julius Randle has regressed, Kemba Walker has been a bust, and RJ Barrett just isn’t good enough to fill in the gaps. Luckily for them, they

Imagine if every person in every gym across the state wears an Oxford Strong T-shirt to a game on Feb.4. Imagine the power behind a symbolic gesture like that.

The Detroit Pistons didn’t play a perfect game on Sunday. But for the first time in over a month, they were good enough.
