Drummond recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-16 FT), seven rebounds, one steal, and one block over 36 minutes during Wednesday’s Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers.

Drummond hit the 20-point mark for the first time in his last 11 games, but his 4-for-12 free throw performance stunted an otherwise impressive offensive showing. This is the All-Star center’s first postseason and perhaps the first time on the big stage is giving him some jitters. He wasn’t able to reaching his usual gaudy rebounding numbers and the Pistons are going to need a lot more from him if they want any chance of staying in this series.
