Andre Drummond misses 12-of-16 free throws as Pistons fall
Detroit Pistons forward/center Andre Drummond shot 4-of-16 at the free throw line on Wednesday, but he still finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes.
Drummond scored the game's first points on a jump-hook, and he had some nice moments playing pick-and-roll with Reggie Jackson. However, his 25.0 percent free throw shooting is the headline here. There's no reason to think the Cavaliers will quit hacking him as the series shifts to Detroit, so be prepared for some slow-paced games. In other disappointing news, this was the 11th time all season Drummond was held to single-digit rebounds.
Drummond was inside the league's top 50 with a 3.9 nERD this season. Through his first two playoff games, he's averaging 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on 51.9 percent shooting from the field, but he's an abysmal 27.8 percent from the stripe (5-for-18).
