. 9-14. Previous: 21st. Detroit Pistons. 21. team. 64

Offense: (110.3)  8th
Defense: (109.8)  19th
Net: (minus -0.5)  14th

Games Week 7: (2-1) Won vs. Cavaliers, Pacers lost to Bucks
Games Week 8: (3 games) Mon at Pelicans | Thurs in Mexico City vs. Mavericks | Sat at Rockets

Better showing by the Motor City this week as the team got a vital victory and confidence-building win over their division rival Pacers. The loss to the Bucks came with plenty of drama on the court as Blake Griffin and friends tried to employ bully ball on Giannis Antetokounmpo which just made them look silly.

With the win over the Cavaliers to start the week, it also marked the first time this season the Pistons have won in back to back efforts and moreover was the first time in Pistons history the team has registered back to back wins with a 30 point differential.

In week seven the crew from Detroit will travel to Mexico City in what has become an annual off NBA site in season location. Their opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans who no doubt the league was hoping would’ve been a great opportunity to showcase Zion Williamson but now with his injury instead ends up featuring two middling teams.
