Keys for Detroit
Stay alert -- The Jazz are +16.6 in the second half of their last five games. Clearly, they are feeling some fresh legs, so it will be important for Coach Kuester to keep the team from melting down, which has been a problem in this matchup
Let Bynum run the point -- We need Stuckey back, but Bynum is the best pure point on the team, and Detroit can take advantage.
Play Daye - Part of keeping fresh legs on the court means avoiding the temptation to keep the top of the rotation in the game.
Question of the Game
Has Maxiell been eating babies again? He seems to have found his mojo over the last few games, which shouldn't surprise anyone.
