Detroit — The new year has brought a new mindset for the Pistons, after a disappointing start to the season.

After dispatching the Milwaukee Bucks, the Pistons had a lopsided loss on Wednesday at Charlotte. They finished the road trip with another blowout loss, with a familiar lull in the third quarter, falling to the

The Pistons aren’t done with their issues with the COVID protocols. After having eight players enter the protocols in the past two weeks, guard Frank Jackson is the ninth, being added to the list on Thursday. The last of the original eight players, Cory Joseph, exited the protocols on Wednesday, but he was designed as

The Pistons were on a hot streak, or something like that. They had been playing better over the past week before Wednesday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets brought them back to reality. Getting several players back from COVID protocols has helped. They had been playing tough down the stretch of several games this season, during
