""I'm not surprised. They've got a nastiness to them," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "That's the fun part about our group. They like it when it gets thick. They like it when it gets messy and ugly. We like to take people there. We like to push people's buttons and see how they respond." "We've got a bunch of nasty dogs in that locker room, and they love it.""
""Instead of Cunningham, it was guard Daniss Jenkins, currently on a two-way contract, nailing a buzzer-beating triple beyond half court to finish the third quarter to give the Pistons life, pulling them to within two. It was one of their season-high 17 3-pointers, and they shot over 41 percent. Jenkins finished with 19 points and eight assists in 35 minutes, as he engaged in back-and-forth throughout with All-Star guard and fellow Dallas native Tyrese Maxey (31 points, seven rebounds).""
The Pistons extended their win streak to nine games with a 114-105 victory over the 76ers in Detroit. The team played without Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey (not yet debuted), Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Ausar Thompson because of injuries, while Isaiah Stewart returned with 14 points and seven rebounds. Detroit held Philadelphia to 15 points in the fourth after trailing by 12 in the third. The Pistons made a season-high 17 three-pointers at over 41 percent, and Daniss Jenkins hit a buzzer-beating, beyond-half-court 3 to spark a comeback and finished with 19 points and eight assists.
