The Pistons only shot 36% from the floor tonight and they were outrebounded 53-40…..and that’s what did them in. Jonas Jerebko led the way for the Pistons with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot in his first game in over a year. Rodney Stuckey also had a solid game with 17 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot. Ben Gordon only shot 4 of 14 from the floor and he turned the ball over five times, but he still finished up with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. The Pistons are now 0-1 on the year.
