The Detroit Pistons lost their 20th consecutive game on Monday night. Pistons head coach Monty Williams was encouraged despite the loss.
“I think we’re starting to figure out that we can score if we space the floor properly,” Williams said. “I’m learning how to use certain guys on the team.”
Williams referenced the team utilizing rookie wing Ausar Thompson more as a screener and roller. Williams also talked about the spacing that Alec Burks and Jaden Ivey provided the team.
“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,” Williams said. “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.”
