Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson killed it, but there just wasn’t enough other offensive fire power. While those two went over 30 points apiece, nobody else really reached double-digits.
There’s one glaring hole: we miss the Moose. His size against Udonis Haslem (18 points) could have made the difference and provided more defense in a 109-102 loss.
It’s ok, though. We lost no ground because LA beat Boston. And Miami has to come to Detroit before the season’s over. It also didn’t help that Dwyane Wade scored 40 points, including 18 in the fourth.
Drummond shot 14-17 and Jackson 12-17, while handing out nine assists (and Andre grabbed 14 rebounds.) We might want to use Joel Anthony more without Monroe’s ankle. He swatted 3 shots in eight minutes against his old team.
