The Detroit Pistons blew out the Utah Jazz on Monday, 134-106, to kick off a four-game swing. With the win, the Pistons have won 10 of their last 11 for the first time since 2007-08. They improved to 35-27 overall and are seven wins away from tripling their 2023-24 win total with 20 games remaining on the schedule.
Utah beat Detroit earlier this season behind excellent performances from Collin Sexton and Keyonte George. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 pm MT.

The Pistons shot 26% from three tonight and still beat the Jazz by 28 points, because they scored 134 on some incredibly lax halfcourt and transition defense. The Pistons shot 15-17 at the rim and 25-34 in the midrange — the Jazz were just really easy to beat.
