Detroit Pistons: The good, bad and brutal from ugly loss to the Kings

Detroit Pistons: The loss to the Kings was mostly brutal

Where do I even start?

Killian Hayes missed all of his shots after having his best game of the season and got wiped out by Tyrese Haliburton, giving Tyrese yet another win in their one-on-one battle.

Haliburton has been the better player so far in their careers and last night just gave more fuel to the fans who think Killian Hayes is a bust.

After having their best shooting game of the season, the Pistons were back to their historically bad shooting, hitting just 13-of-47 from long range for a pathetic 27.7 percent.

They shot just 40 percent overall, while the Kings hit 53.1 percent of their shots including 48.5 percent from 3-point range.

The Detroit Pistons are dead last in the NBA in opponents’ field goal percentage and last night the Kings were hitting them from all over. That includes the paint, where the Pistons gave up 64 points, adding more evidence to the CRAZY idea that the Pistons just might need more than one playable center.

The Pistons added 18 turnovers that the Kings were able to convert into 28 points, this a game after the Pistons had somewhat cleaned up their act in that area.

It was just an ugly game that was almost over before it had even started, as the Pistons scored just 12 points in the first quarter, getting into a deep hole that they were never able to climb out of.

The good news is that it is just one game, but the bad news is that the Pistons are entering a brutal 9-game stretch of the schedule that could end with the tank idling outside of Little Caesar’s Arena.
