Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said his team is struggling to make reads off of passes and cuts after their first offensive option is taken away.

“It's the play after the play, that's what we're struggling with, meaning we run a set, and the ball usually stops, or there's a delay,” Frank said. “What we work on, every single day, is how do you play after the play? That's what we have to do a better job on.”

Rodney Stuckey said the team is “just standing” offensively, and Tayshaun Prince said the team may need to, “put in some more sets,” because the Pistons too often failed to move the ball offensively.

“When the first option is taken away, guys look around and say, 'What do we do now?' as opposed to cutting, moving, things like that – which is a problem,” Prince said.
