During the now-gone four-game winning streak (against teams that were a combined 30-67), the Pistons shot 49-percent and averaged 23 assists per game. Tonight, against the 6-22 WASHINGTON WIZARDS, they shot 33-percent and lost by 21, 98-77.
The Wizards weren't shooting any better for a minute, which is why the Pistons were, believe it or not, up two with four minutes left in the third quarter. Washington started the third quarter 6-for-18, but finished it making five of their last six shots while the Pistons missed their final four and turned the ball over three times. The Wizards turned that two-point deficit into a nine-point lead going into the fourth quarter and the game was never closer than that.
Detroit finished just 1-for-11 from three and dished out 17 assists opposite 19 turnovers. Greg Monroe led all scorers with 27 points, but only grabbed six rebounds and he also had six turnovers.
Jump around.
- The Pistons guards shot a combined 6-for-36. Brandon Knight had his worst game of his NBA career (1-for-9, 1 rebound, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers)
- Austin Daye was 2-for-9.
- John Wall had 15 assists and 7 turnovers.
- You know what, just check out the freaking box score.
- Congratulations to The Boourns on the nup's and Dragonite, who is new around these parts and not tanking:
