Grant extends scoring streak
It’s safe to say that if Grant had missed Sunday’s game against the Jazz, the final score would’ve been significantly uglier.
The Pistons shot 33.3% overall and 23.8% from behind the arc. Grant was immune from the shooting woes, though, as he shot 50% (9-for-18 overall) while hitting three of his five 3-point attempts.
He has now scored at least 20 points in nine consecutive games — tying a streak shared by two of the NBA’s other leading scorers, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal and Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum. Since not doing so in the season opener, he has reached the 20-point threshold in every game this season.
