When Diallo hit that 3 that was later ruled was after the shot clock expired, #Pistons rookie Luka Graza was jumping up and down on the bench like it was a college game.
He checked in with 53.9 second left in the 3rd. #Suns up five with 17.8 seconds left in third. – 10:47 PM

The Pistons aren’t playing *that* bad. The one bench stint really hurt, but the best team in the league is shooting 57 percent from the field and 54 percent from 3.
Detroit’s bench, which leads the league in scoring, is being outscored by 25. It’s an 18-point game. – 10:34 PM

#Pistons coach Dwane Casey broke down former #Suns wing Josh Jackson’s 2nd season in Detroit.
Started hot.
Lost minutes to Hamidou Diallo.
Not in doghouse.
“No one has given up on Josh.”
Casey added Jackson will get opportunity in next few games starting tonight in Phoenix pic.twitter.com/5ux0ZiAzHl – 8:09 PM

Casey said Cade is starting to settle in after missing preseason and training camp. Wants to see Detroit’s shooting tick up before he considers any major lineup tweaks. “We want to make sure we get over the hump from that standpoint before we move to something else.” – 7:39 PM

Asked Dwane Casey about the Suns growth from the start of tenure in Detroit and it being a template for new Pistons: Said building the foundation, like Phoenix did, with patience and then adding the pieces down the line is the template. Pointed to the Suns and Hawks. – 7:36 PM

Casey: “I look back at Seattle when they got Durant, it took them how many years to grow in OKC. (Phoenix), look at how long it took them to grow. You may have some missteps along the way … but it can be done.” Said the key for Detroit is the foundation. – 7:34 PM

Casey on the Suns’ going from rebuild to contender: “Patience is key, and adding the veteran pieces to the young guys you already have once they grow up and take their butt-whoopings around the league. Phoenix is a great template for a lot of our young teams around the league.” – 7:33 PM

Monty Williams’ first impression of Cade Cunningham on tape is that he’s smart. Rarely saw him getting sped up. Said that doesn’t mean Cunningham has figured it all out already but emphasized his ability to see things develop as a rookie. – 7:25 PM
