Detroit Pistons sophomore Jalen Duren said that he felt unstoppable during Thursday’s 128-122 overtime road win vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (27 points/22 rebounds/1 assist/3 blocks/9-15 FG/9-10 FT/+4 +/-).
(via Bally Sports Detroit):
Johnny Kane: “For you in particular, on the second night of a back-to-back, where did you find the determination and the strength down the stretch? Because it seemed like you were the guy kind of leading that energy push there late third into the fourth.”
Duren: “I honestly felt like they didn’t have nobody to stop me. I felt like the team in general just had lack of energy, we were kind of playing down to the competition. And myself, I just knew I could bring that energy by being on the boards, being active, being that presence in the paint. So that’s what I tried to do, and it worked out.”
