Last night, the Detroit Pistons stunk up the entire American Airlines Center the Dallas Mavericks.
On Thursday night, they put a beating on the reigning champion San Antonio Spurs.
All day Thursday, the sportswriters talked about the "slumping" Pistons, whose 9 game winning streak ended against Boston (top record in the league) on Saturday and who lost again to Dallas (second best record in the West; third in the league) on Wednesday night. And the Pistons have the second best record in the entire league and are one of the four teams who has beaten the Celtics. Slumping. Right.

Anyway, they redeemed themselves tonight by never letting San Antonio come up for air. The Pistons ended the first quarter up 30-15, and even though the Spurs got within 6 or 7 at one point, they were never really in the game. The key to the Pistons is not going ice cold down the stretch, and not making adjustments on defense, and they didn't and did, respectively. Solid win.
With this much depth in the league, this is going to be a very good year to be an NBA fan come playoffs time.
