FINAL: Pistons - 106 Sixers - 93 Cade Cunningham: 28 PTS | 8 REB | 8 AST Duncan Robinson: 21 PTS Daniss Jenkins: 18 PTS | 8 REB | 6 AST John Collins: 16 PTS | 11 REB Impressive win for Detroit without Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, and Isaiah Joe. The Detroit Pistons are 3-0.

Not sure why Cade is rushing into offense on the play that results in John Collins and Tyrese Maxey colliding. No incentive to do so.

Ron Holland’s 0-7. He just missed a dunk that allowed Philly to get out in transition for an easy two.

This has been a physical game.

Brutal end to the half for Detroit, as Philly goes on a 9-0 run. A mix of bad turnovers and unimpressive defense. Quickly saw a 21-point lead turn into a 12-point one. Cade Cunningham with 15 points, 7 rebounds. John Collins has 12 points and 8 rebounds.

JB doesn’t seem too inclined to play Tolu Smith, even without Jalen Duren. He’s rotated between Paul Reed and John Collins at the 5 so far in the first half. Not sure that’s sustainable over a several week period without Duren, but that’s what we’ve seen so far.

Ebuka Okorie getting some minutes as we speak.

Oh man, Isaiah Joe just took a hard fall finishing a dunk. Ouch.

No Embiid tonight for Detroit to have to deal with.

Steve Kerr is hilarious. After Golden State’s third game of the season, in which they load managed Curry/Green/Horford/Podz, he gets asked a positively-phrased question about Yaxel’s impact. Rather than speak highly of him, he throws his rookie under the bus and spends the bulk of his minute long answer critiquing him. Maybe don’t have all your top players take a night off less than a week into the season and throw said rookie out there with end of bench and two-way players.

It is game 3 of the NBA season for the Golden State Warriors and they are pulling this nonsense. The NBA should fine the franchise a gajillion dollars.

Welp, that’s not good news for Detroit.
