The impact of the Detroit Pistons’ bench has been undeniable during their four-game win streak.
The Pistons beat the New York Knicks 97-81 Friday, boosted by a 33-18 scoring advantage in the second quarter, when they typically play predominantly bench players.
“Our second group came on in the first half and set the tone again for us,” Pistons guard Brandon Jennings said.
The Pistons have outscored opponents in four of the last five second quarters. They have scored 33 or 34 points in four of the last five second quarters. Their second-quarter scoring average is 31.6 over the last five games.
