Matt Dery of 97.1 Tweeted that he thought he saw potential Pistons owner Tom Gores in a suite at the Palace, but later said he was mistaken.
Well, Matt should’ve trusted his instincts. Gores is indeed at the Palace right now watching the Pistons-Spurs game as George Blaha just confirmed on Fox Sports Detroit.
Now, I’m trying to temper my enthusiasm with this caveat: as a native Michigander, Gores is a Pistons fan. It’s possible his appearance at the game is unrelated to his interest in purchasing the team. But still, it’s a pretty encouraging sign to see him there considering we never saw former frontrunner Mike Ilitch at a game.
