Keids Kaningems, the first number of this year’s draftsman, showed a convincing performance in the ranks of “Pistons”, who finished the match with 21 points, four passes and one ball under the baskets. Corius Joseph scored the same number of points, but 17 points in Trey Lail’s account tonight.
“Dog” with 33 victories in 42 matches ranks first in the Western Conference and in the entire league. Meanwhile, the Pistons, which occupy the penultimate 14th position in the East with a balance of 10-32, are currently one of the weakest units in the league.
The next match will be played by the Dog on January 18 at the Spurs of San Antonio, and a match against the Golden State Warriors is scheduled for Detroit a day later.
