Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  March 28, 2012
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Tayshaun Prince matched a season high with 29 points and rookie Brandon Knight added 16 to help the Detroit Pistons beat Cleveland 87-75 on Wednesday night, handing the Cavaliers their fifth straight loss.

Brandon Knight gets soaked going for loose ball

Via Pass The Pill  |  March 27, 2012
This is one of those clips that make you happy to be a Pistons fan, because your rookie point guard just hustled like crazy for a loose ball, but it also makes you smile if you’re….. well…. anyone. As Knight flys over the bench to track down the rock, he lands directly on the Gatorade station and flips an entire trey of refreshing drink all over himself. I like Gatorade as...

Brandon Knight got a Gatorade Bath during the Game

Via Sorry Bro: Sports Through Houser  |  March 27, 2012
Probably the least deserved shower in sports since he failed to even save the ball from going out of bounds. Even if he had saved the ball, he is still on the Detroit Pistons, no one ever deserves a celebration on that team. Three quick reaction notices from the gif: 1) The two twins in the top left corner have great timing. 2) Their mother puts her driving with children instincts...

Brandon Knight Takes Gatorade Bath Last Night Against Wizards

Via Busted Coverage  |  March 27, 2012
There were like 1500 people watching the Pistons-Wizards game last night, hence the lack of buzz from Brandon Knight jumping over the Detroit bench and into the Gatorade buckets. The Pistons won a meaningless game, the Wizards draft pick positioning (2nd worst NBA record) gets better and BC lands this video of Knight getting rained on. Everyone is a winner this morning.  Everyone...

Pistons-Cavaliers Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  March 28, 2012
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons are both rebuilding, and it's clear that their rookie point guards continue to provide excellent building blocks. Both seem to be slumping now.

Usually, the Gatorade bath is normally reserved for NFL head coaches and Doc Rivers but during tonight's Pistons/Wizards affair, rookie Brandon Knight got his own version.Knight was attempting to track down a loose ball and dove into the Pistons bench area. Knight took out some Gatorade cups in the process and ended up getting all wet:

Pistons Beat Wizards as Brandon Knight Gets a Gatorade Shower

Via Detroit4lyfe  |  March 26, 2012
Rodney Stuckey hit a game-winning jumper with 0.2 seconds left, but it was Brandon Knight who got the Gatorade bath in the Pistons' ugly-as-all-hell 79-77 win over the Washington Wizards. The entire Pistons team could have used a cleaning, as they shot under 37% for the entire game. Knight was a particularly abysmal 3-for-13, but his 6 assists and 7 rebounds were...

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Washington Wizards 79-77 on Rodney Stuckey’s game winning shot with .2 left. But teammate Brandon Knight received the Gatorade bath as an award for his hustle earlier in the game.   The Pistons have had a frustrating season, but there are glimmers of hope with this young team, especially the arrival of Knight. Hustle plays like that will endear...

Box Score: Pistons 87, Cavaliers 75

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  March 28, 2012
That was….better? The Cavaliers at least defended better and Kyrie Irving was really aggressive in trying to top Brandon Knight. But beyond that, the Cavaliers offense was pretty horrible in this game and the Pistons more or less were able to just coast to victory. Alonzo Gee was simply destroyed by Tayshaun Prince in this game, and that’s really what set the tone for the rest...
