The Detroit Pistons have built a twin tower of their own inside the paint with Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond. But, sadly for them, both these players were not able to work their magic in the paint in this game and as a result, the Pistons had to suffer a loss.

Other starters like Jackson, Bullock and Brown also didn't take advantage of the opportunity and didn't do anything which could have helped the Pistons to get a win. This has been a major problem for the Pistons that whenever their big two don't perform, they lose.

Blake Griffin has had a magnificent season so far with averages of 24.7pts, 8.7rebs, 5.2asts and 46%fg. Even after such amazing stats, his team is struggling because they just don't have any other options they could rely on. Detroit quickly needs to surround Griffin with quality players.
