DETROIT- The Detroit Pistons won their season opener pretty handily against the Charlotte Bobcats tonight at the Palace. The Pistons won 96-89 and the game was not nearly as close as the score showed as the Pistons controlled this game. After the Bobcats took a 26-23 lead into the second quarter, Detroit responded by out scoring the Bobcats by 11 points in the second to take a 51-43 lead into halftime and never looked back.
The Pistons rode Greg Monroe early in the game as Brandon Knight and newcomer Andre Iguodala struggled to get going. Knight never got going as he scored just 4 points on 2-7 shooting, but Iguodala rebounded to score 18 of his 24 points in the second half as he helped the Pistons gain a double digit advantage on the Bobcats in the third quarter. Pistons fans held their collective breaths as Greg Monroe went down with an injury with 1:27 left in the game. Luckily it was just a twisted ankle and he is day to day.
