By the way, the Pistons possibly did something no NBA team ever has last night

OK, I know I was a little perplexed by the lack of playing time for a couple of guys in last night’s blowout of Cleveland, but this is pretty cool, via Dan Devine at Yahoo!’s Ball Don’t Lie:

"It’s not just that the Cavaliers were awful, though; the Pistons turned in a performance for the ages, seen through one lens. Basketball-Reference.com’s game logs, which go back to the 1985-86 season, show no record of a single regular-season or postseason game where a team shot 60 percent or better from the field, 40 percent or better from 3-point land and 90 percent or better from the free-throw line. The Pistons did all of those things on Tuesday night."

That definitely changes my tune some. Historically good performances are always welcome. Best not to risk Austin Daye‘s 30 percent shooting messing that up.
