The Detroit Pistons’ starters watched from the sidelines as the reserves beat the Cleveland Cavaliers’ reserves and earned the team’s 44th win of the season.
When the starting lineups were announced, no one would blame you if you turned the channel. However, this game was anything but boring. Despite a 36 point eruption from D-League stud Jordan McRae, the Pistons made clutch shots in overtime and benefitted from some late missed free throws by McRae as they were able to hang on.
The Pistons had some lapses defensively, but their exceptional ball movement and balanced scoring was enough to get the win.
