I want everyone to mentally prepare themselves for the pistons guards to flop on screens in an effort to get OG in early foul trouble

As you said, the Pistons got great scoring from their non-Cade players, specifically THJ, Beasley, and Tobias, who combined for 64 points. I was curious how the Pistons have fared in games when those three hit certain scoring thresholds. Thanks to Conor in the substack (thanks again!) who pulled the numbers, we now know. During the regular season, Detroit went:

2-0 when they combined for 60+

10-1 when they combined for 50+

19-4 when they combined for 45+

That’s a large enough sample to suggest a real correlation between Pistons wins and strong scoring performances from that trio. And yet... the Knicks bucked the trend. That feels like a good sign.
