The Detroit Pistons need to remember how to shoot or this road trip is going to end on a sour note. The Pistons were held under 100 points for the fifth time this season, and the primary factor is the team\u2019s inability to hit outside shots. Detroit made just six of 29 3-pointers. Essentially, it\u2019s been Duncan Robinson or nothing behind the line, and if he\u2019s having an off night, Detroit\u2019s offense grinds to a halt. Tobias just isn\u2019t as effective or as prolific as he has been in year\u2019s past, Javonte Green has been cold after being more reliable than not, and Daniss Jenkins tailed off. Ron Holland\u2019s a willing shooter, but misses plenty, and Isaiah Stewart has been more focused on the interior lately. It\u2019s creating problems for Cade Cunningham, it\u2019s made Ausar Thompson\u2019s inside driving completely inert, and the bench unit, one of the team\u2019s superpowers, really struggles for long stretches.<\/p>\n
Golden State is a middling shot-making team, ranking 12th in the NBA in 3-point percentage, but boy, do they love to get their shots up. The Warriors attempt the most threes in the league, hoisting 13 more than the Pistons on a nightly basis. That can turn a nine-point Pistons lead into a one-score game awfully quick. And Detroit will need ways to keep pace. Luckily for the Pistons, there might be a path to some easy points. The Warriors are near the bottom of the league in opponent\u2019s fast break points, and are a below-average rebounding team. This is a chance for Detroit to get second looks and turn defense into offense.<\/p>\n
