Pathfinders come to their senses with small steps, although there are still a lot of problems. The club is aiming for a place in the playoffs and for this they need to give all their best, at least in the Western Conference for sure. Portland managed to break the streak of three defeats, as at the home arena Moda Center dealt with Detroit (110-92). Terry Stots’ charges were forced to act without Damian Lillard, who, due to abdominal muscle damage, will miss about ten days. The role of the leader was taken by CJ McCollum, who scored 28 points in the match against the Pistons.
Detroit has not been looking its best lately. The Pistons have lost seven games in a row. The Pistons won their last victory in mid-November, when they beat Indiana at home (97:89). It is worth noting the Pistons’ next problems with the attacking game. It is not at all easy for this team to score 100 points per game. In the last four matches they managed to do this only once. In the confrontation with the Lakers, Casey’s wards scored 106 points. In the remaining matches, Detroit did not score more than 96 points.
