Detroit Pistons move to 3-0 after OT win over Bulls

64. 94. 24. Final. 98

B+. Jackson wasn’t efficient when he took his shots, but he also registered seven assists. The offense really struggled without him on the floor and he contained Bulls G Derrick Rose very well.. PG. Pistons. REGGIE JACKSON

C-. This will be a forgettable game for Caldwell-Pope for the most part. He played solid defense down the stretch but he failed to get in a rhythm offensively. Bulls G Jimmy Butler also worked him for 23 points.. SG. Pistons. KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE

A. Morris had a one of the better games of his career. He shot the ball efficiently (10-15 from the field) and made some big shots in the third quarter.Add seven rebounds and the fact that Bulls F Tony Snell was held to four points, and it was an all-around great game for Morris. It’s looking more and more like the Pistons won that trade in the offseason.. SF. Pistons. MARCUS MORRIS

Pistons. ERSAN ILYASOVA. C-. Ilyasova provided nothing on offense, and sat out in favor of Tolliver down the stretch and in overtime. He played some good defense in the first half, but he didn’t bring much against the Bulls.. PF

Pistons. ANDRE DRUMMOND. A. Drummond did pick up two fouls int he first quarter, but did a good job of staying out of foul trouble afterwards. 20 points and 20 rebounds is more than solid, especially against a solid frontcourt. He was 8-19 from the field, but had two steals, two blocks and nine of his 20 boards came on the offensive glass. Drummond is blossoming into a real star in this league.. C

STANLEY JOHNSON. C. Stanley is still adjusting to the NBA game. However, he is showing the flashes of greatness that he can achieve. He’s showing multiple ways he can score, and is defending pretty well. There wasn’t anything special tonight from Stanley, but it wasn’t a bad performance.. SF. Pistons

Pistons. ARON BAYNES. B. Baynes held his own in the first half once Drummond went out with two fouls, and he is turning into a solid big man off the bench. I thought he played better than his plus/minus of -8.. C

Stan Van Gundy knows what he’s going to get from Tolliver every night. He hustles and shoots the ball well from the perimeter. Tolliver hit three from behind the arc and turned in a solid 30 minutes.. PF. Pistons. ANTHONY TOLLIVER. B+

D. Blake provides nothing on the offensive end. He isn’t getting guys open looks and he missed all seven of his attempts.. PG. Pistons. STEVE BLAKE

REGGIE BULLOCK. C. Bullock got 15 minutes in his first night as the second guard off the bench. Bullock only attempted one shot, and was pretty quiet. Maybe Van Gundy will try to get him more involved on offense as he continues to play.. SG. Pistons

Van Gundy made some great adjustments in the third quarter, and rode Jackson and Morris in the second half. He also managed Drummond’s foul situation well. The only problem is that he continues to play Steve Blake as the backup point guard. Spencer Dinwiddie needs to get a look here.. Head Coach. Pistons. STAN VAN GUNDY. B+
