"This week was about showing maturity"
After a tough schedule last week with two back to backs the Pistons were able to breathe easy with Pacers and Hawks coming to town. They surprisingly made light work of both teams. This week was about proving that the culture has really changed. Too many times have the Pistons looked great against a contending team only to come out and lay an egg in a game that they heavily favored to win. Not this week! The only time they even trailed was 2-0 against Atlanta.
Reggie Jackson must've got word of the trade rumors and the Pacers paid for it. He dropped 34 points in 27 minutes and added 9 assists, 4 steals and a block on 14-20/2-3 from the field and deep respectively. He then lead the curb-stomping of the Hawks with 12 points, 12 assists and 0 turnovers on 5-7 FG and 2-3 3PT.
