Detroit Pistons Notes And Quotes
--Rookie C Greg Monroe has 17 double-doubles this season, equaling the combined output of his teammates. Charlie Villanueva and Rodney Stuckey are tied for second with four apiece. All of Monroe's double-doubles have come during the last three months.
--G Will Bynum has become Mr. Fourth Quarter when he plays. During the last five games, Bynum has played just twice, and both times, he played the entire fourth quarter after sitting the bench during the first three. He had five points and five assists to close out a victory against the Knicks on March 18. He wasn't as successful Friday, shooting 2-for-6 from the field and making two turnovers in the six-point loss at Cleveland.
"It's tough to come in and impact the game like that," F Austin Daye said of Bynum. "It's kind of tough to only play in one quarter."
QUOTE TO NOTE
"We didn't have a lot of energy throughout the game. Because we won our last game against them by such a wide margin, we took the game for granted a little bit." -- F Austin Daye, on Friday's loss to Cleveland.
