Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams talked about being encouraged by growth following Monday’s 131-123 home loss vs. the Indiana Pacers (20-game losing streak).
(via Bally Sports Detroit):
“I think we’re starting to figure out that we can score if we space the floor properly. I’m learning how to use certain guys on the team. Tonight, we set more screens with Ausar [Thompson] and had him diving to the basket. That generated offense for us, even if he didn’t get the ball. Hitting AB [Alec Burks] & JI [Jaden Ivey] and guys on the second side and letting those guys play in point-five, that’s something that we’ve got to continue to grow. So as much as this losing hurts all of us… it hurts like you can’t believe, I still see a lot of growth and I’m encouraged by some of the things I saw tonight. Now we’ve got to try to build on it and get to a place where we have the lead, keep the lead, and close.”
