Back-to-back Duncan Robinson 3s, after he went to the line for 3 FTs before that, and the Pistons have again pulled with Via @Keith_Langlois on X

What happened: Robinson converted three free throws immediately before connecting on consecutive 3-pointers. Detroit sits in Game 1 of its 82-game schedule with the gap back to four.

Why it matters: Opening-night minutes establish early rotation order across an 82-game schedule. A four-point gap in the final minutes leaves Detroit one stop and one make from level.

What to watch: The final minutes determine whether Detroit completes its second push back.
