Blake Griffin scored 26 points (14 in the paint), and the Detroit Pistons beat the Brooklyn Nets 103-100 in the season opener for both teams at Little Caesars Arena.
Andre Drummond’s layup answered Jarrett Allen’s layup and put the Pistons back ahead for good with 3:24 left in the fourth quarter.
The Nets got within 101-100 on Joe Harris’ 28-foot 3-pointer with 1:14 to play, but Reggie Jackson answered with 2 free throws, and the Nets got no closer. They had the ball down 3, but Harris missed a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left that would have tied it.
During clutch time, the teams each scored 12. Drummond (No. 8 in clutch wins added, 2018-19) scored 6 of the Pistons’ 12 on 3 for 4 shooting. Early in the fourth quarter, Jared Dudley had 2 of his 3 steals in 55 seconds, both with the game within five points.
Drummond had 24 points and 20 rebounds.
For the Nets, Caris LeVert scored 27 points (20 in the paint), and Harris went 1 for 7 from 3. Spencer Dinwiddie had 23 points and 6 assists off the bench.
The Pistons grabbed 14 offensive rebounds to the Nets’ 5 and outscored them 26-14 off turnovers.

The five plays that moved the chance to win most, in order.
Each play from the side of the team that made it: its chance to win before and after, and the change in percentage points. On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance. Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
84 points from the field on 92 shots: 9.1 fewer than the league scores from the same zones.
