Justin Martinez: Jared McCain on if he has played alongside a big man who can make screening a highlight play like Isaiah Hartenstein: “It’s crazy. When I was in Philly, Joel would do that with Tyrese and I was like ‘Dang, that’s really cool right there.’ So being able to be a part of it is really fun. Playing with Hart, J-Will and Chet, they’re all elite bigs. I’m excited to play with them.”

Justin Martinez: Asked Mark Daigneault about the energy Jalen Williams has provided from the sideline while dealing with numerous injuries this season: “He’s the man. We have a great group of guys where they root for each other’s success. I think he’s certainly giving himself to the team by being like that, and I also think it helps them work through their own adversities. It gives them a sense of purpose. It connects them to the group. Those injuries can detach you from the rest of the team at times just because you’re on your own plan, you’re not necessarily at all of the practices and you might not be on the road all of the time. So staying connected, I think, helps those guys’ mental. Hopefully it’s helping him. He’s certainly helping us. He’s a great teammate.”

The Pistons faced a shell of the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night in a possible NBA Finals preview. By the time it ended, with East-leading Detroit winning 124-116, the Thunder were without their top six scorers. "We obviously had the wind in our faces a little out there tonight," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "I thought it was a really good effort by the guys who played to gut that one out." Oklahoma City started the game without its four leading scorers -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen), Jalen Williams (hamstring), Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) and Chet Holmgren (back) -- and sixth-leading scorer Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).

Clemente Almanza: Mark Daigneault on Jalen Williams’ hamstring strains helping him feel better about his wrist: “Objectively, during that period of time, he was taking more shots with the wrist in practice than he had at any other point in the season… He had a look of confidence that was really exciting to see… It’s better than it’s ever been since the surgery. It’s the best it’s been right now. It’ll only continue to improve.”
