After coming off a successful road trip, the Detroit Pistons lay an egg at home against the Orlando Magic, 98-92.
Sunday night was a disappointing night for the Detroit Pistons.
It appeared the Pistons were in prime position to defeat the Orlando Magic with Reggie Jackson returning and a new sense of urgency founded from the previous road trip, though none of that had any influence.
During Sunday’s game, Detroit appeared appeared tired and sluggish through out all four quarters as well as somewhat affected by Jackson’s season debut.
Though, in Detroit’s defense, Stan Van Gundy was already vocal on the affect Reggie Jackson could have on the team in his first game back. He worried Jackson’s return would temporary alter the fluidity and chemistry the team had been accustomed to since the first game of the year.
Unfortunately, Stan Van Gundy had a reason to worry and foresaw the affects before Sunday night’s 98-92 defeat against the Orlando Magic.
