We hear from coach Dwane Casey after his Pistons suffer a 128-112 loss in Boston on Wednesday. #DetroitBasketball
Let’s get the ugliness out of the way. The Detroit Pistons trailed by double digits the majority of the night and fell 128-112. Cade Cunningham had his worst, least impactful game of the season. His shot was off, he settled for bad shots, was a poor floor general, and got cooked several times on defense.

Tatum scored 16 of his game-high 31 points in the first five minutes of the third period, helping the Boston Celtics lead by as

With the Pistons playing the Celtics twice this week and Cunningham’s history against the defending Eastern Conference champions, the Pistons were hoping that trend continues. The second-year guard has been Detroit’s leading scorer against the Celtics in each of their last

Detroit — Pistons guards Hamidou Diallo and Killian Hayes trapped Oklahoma City’s Josh Giddey and forced a steal early in the fourth quarter of a tight game, leading to a thunderous two-handed slam by Diallo, a former NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion. About 10 seconds later, Giddey attempted a floater but was denied by a
When Troy Weaver traded for Bojan Bogdanovic before the start of the season, some assumed it would be a half-year rental and the veteran would be flipped to the highest bidder at the deadline.
