Pistons eye 60-win season after rout of Hornets: 'It would mean the world'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jalen Duren’s message to J.B. Bickerstaff was loud and clear as time wound down Friday.The All-Star walked from the end of the bench to near midcourt to flag down his coach and remind Bickerstaff that the Detroit Pistons had no interest in exchanging postgame pleasantries with the Charlotte Hornets after their 118-100 blowout win. Duren’s sentiment was understandable, thanks to the still-fresh memories of a February altercation with the Hornets that led to four suspensions and more than $1 million in salary forfeited.Advertisement
