Everyone’s bracket is busted, some of the best players have already bowed out, the world is rooting for Saint Peter’s and Purdue and Michigan are all that remains of the Big 10 contingent. The 2022 NCAA Tournament is in full swing, and the madness will surely continue. However, for our purposes the most important component
On Feb. 27, Kelly Olynyk received an inbounds pass from Killian Hayes with 2.1 seconds on the clock in overtime. He spun, launched a mid-range jumper and watched the first game-winner of his nine-year NBA career fall through the net. “It took me nine years. I’m here!” an elated Olynyk said during the postgame news
Detroit — It’s been a while since the Pistons built a lead of 20-plus points in the third quarter and they were able to cruise through the fourth quarter. For a while, that looked to be how the second half was going to go against the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons used a 25-4 run to open

Detroit took the lead for good with 10:22
The Detroit Pistons have had promising stretches this season. However, their recent play was… not one of those stretches. Turns out, the Atlanta Hawks — playing their second game in as many nights — were the perfect remedy. Detroit came out hot and buried the sleep-walking Hawks in the third, leading by as many as
Detroit — After the Pistons went on a little run with a stretch of six wins in eight games, they looked to be falling out of contention to get another top-three draft pick. They were trending up and looking as if they would have a strong finish to the season. Not so much. In the
It is crazy that there are only 10 games left in the 2021-2022 NBA season. For a team like the Hawks, they are at least in position for the play-in tournament, so their season won’t be over in 10 games. For the Pistons, it is all about developing players down the stretch and hoping for
The Detroit Pistons are shorthanded and struggling down the stretch. After winning six of eight games before and after the NBA All-Star Game, they’ve regressed and tumbled back to the bottom with six losses in their past seven games. Hamidou Diallo and Frank Jackson, both nursing injuries, seem unlikely to return this season, which leaves
Detroit — It’s two steps forward, then two steps back. Whenever Killian Hayes seems to get things going and he’s ready to put together a good string of games, something happens to push him backward. He had one of his best games of the season on March 7 against the Atlanta Hawks, but then he
