Rookies are almost always universally bad. Let’s put that fact on the table right away. Young players need time to develop, learn the speed of the NBA game and figure out how to be effective on the floor. They need time to get better, stronger and faster. That doesn’t mean they are bad or destined
SACRAMENTO — On the second night of a back-to-back, the Detroit Pistons appeared to run out of steam. Sacramento Kings guard Terence Davis II, in the midst of a career night, knocked down his seventh 3-pointer with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter extending a 10-0 Kings run that gave them a
Sacramento — With about three minutes left, the Pistons looked to be out of it. Not so much.

The Detroit Pistons visit the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back. Detroit lost resoundingly a night ago to the Golden State Warriors and looks to rebound against a decidedly less formidable opponent. Killian Hayes’ status is in doubt after he left the Warriors game with a hip contusion. Kelly Olynyk is expected
SAN FRANCISCO — Since the calendar turned to 2022, the Detroit Pistons have played some of their best games of the season. Tuesday was not one of them. The Pistons fell to the Golden State Warriors, 102-86. They trailed by as many as 34, but narrowed the final score in the second half with most
