If you're shopping for a Detroit team this year that looks like a real winner, the Pistons may be your best bet.
But before you totally invest emotionally in the team, beware of games like this.
The Pistons, who are 10-5 and are tied for the second best record in the Eastern Division, blew a 22 point lead on Friday night against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis and lost 107-100.
"It's disappointing to be up in a game that many points and let it slip," Tobias Harris, who had 15 points, according to Rod Beard of The Detroit News. "That was what we did last year a lot of times. We’re supposed to be a lot better as a team. It's a game we’ll learn from as a team and get our spirits back up and keep it moving."
Coach Stan Van Gundy has this explanation:
"It was a combination of very stagnant offense and not really getting good movement and good shots. And at the other end, our transition defense was horrendous. We didn't play well down the stretch.
"Just look at the NBA every night — these things happen all the time."
