McDyess was key for the Pistons in the third period, scoring eight points with seven rebounds to help Detroit take a 65-58 lead into the final quarter.

McDyess said he wasn’t surprised that he got so many open looks.

“They always leave me for some reason,” he said. “They’re a big help team on the strong side and the weak side is always open. They’ve been doing that since day one. Flip emphasized that [in the] last practice, ‘Dyess is going to be open at the top of the key,’ and the players have been getting me the ball.”
