ELECTRIC OPENER – Isaiah Stewart picked a good time to hit his first triple of the season. After missing his first three, Stewart drained a cold-bl...

Duren ran the floor for both buckets, the first a lob from Killian Hayes and the second a ferocious poster dunk on Chuma Okeke to pull the Pistons within seven early in the second quarter. The Pistons made their first three shots, but only 2 of 13 after that and didn’t make a 3-point shot until early in the second quarter after missing their first 10. Duren’s first bucket came on a goaltend call, but his next two underscored the athleticism and vertical threat that were part of the package that enticed Troy Weaver to maneuver for the extra lottery pick he used on Duren. But he was 1 of 6 in the opener while Killian Hayes went 0 of 3 from the arc and 1 of 9 overall. That unit could use a Bogdanovic-level threat from the 3-point arc, which could be on the horizon with the returns of Livers and Burks. But Cory Joseph hit consecutive triples early in the second quarter to launch the comeback and Bogdanovic, after missing his first, drained six in a row.
