What. A. Finish. The Pistons outscored Portland 41-11 in the fourth quarter. That alone is astounding. Then consider how Portland had been shooting the lights out all night, including 78 percent in the third quarter. Allen Crabbe (who?) couldn’t miss. C.J. McCollum was getting whatever he wanted. Meyers Leonard and Damian Lillard had been picking and popping the Pistons to death. Then the Pistons’ defense started stringing together stops, and Reggie Jackson flat out took over. Several Piston players were great tonight. I’ll go into more detail in the grades.
