Could almost make a case for Evans as player of the game. Although I would have preferred to see him dribble the clock down instead of stuffing it after the steal with 7 sec's left Those last 2 points gave him a new career high of 18 points. Previous high was 17 points. . Evans also came within 1 of his career high in offensive rebounds with 3.
Great to see the Pistons getting back their rebounding edge as 2nd chance points make the whole game so much easier. Ben Wallace has been leading the league in the month of Jan with 5.4 offensive boards a game. Team has regained a positive rebouding differerential in both total boards and offensive boards. Prior to this game it was +0.4 in total rebounds and +0.3 offensivly.
Is it just me or did Darko seem to play a lot smarter this game? And he did not slack off in
garbage time. I hope getting Darko and Davis some mins is going to stick but it was most likely due to early foul trouble on Dyess and the Ben Wallace hard fall.
Nice win though. Team put away a team that they should have.
