Pistons vs. Spurs Recap

Photo by USA Today

Despite the awkward photo, the Pistons came out on Sunday, December 1st with a smackdown of the San Antonio Spurs, 132-98. Though the game was close in the first quarter, the Pistons played better defense and offense to come out on top. This was a game where everyone contributed to the team’s success. Everyone played well and did their thing. More importantly, it seems that the rest of the Pistons took Blake Griffin’s postgame comments from Friday to heart, because they were constantly fighting and making smart decisions.

Well, except maybe for the last 5 minutes of the second quarter, where 5 turnovers were committed.

We got to see a little bit of Sekou as well, and he was able to score his first NBA points with a pretty difficult layup.

The game ball goes to Christian Wood for sure, with him putting up an impressive statline of 28 pts/9 rebs/2 asts. He was dominant offensively, routinely dunking on Spurs here and there. And thanks Christian and the rest of the players, this was a game where Blake and Andre did not have to carry the team to the win.

Next up, the Cavs on Tuesday.
