The Pistons have their work cut out for them: they've tallied eight straight losses to the Thunder, last beating them in 2008. It'll also be a huge test for Josh Smith, who has so far struggled to slow down opposing small forwards and faces one of the best in the league tonight in Kevin Durant. The Pistons still rank first in the NBA by averaging 53 points in the paint -- let's hope the Pistons get back to that mentality and we don't see another night like Tuesday:
Brandon Jennings + Josh Smith took 21 more shots than Greg Monroe + Andre Drummond took tonight. Only made 3 more combined.
