How is Duren playing so far?

So far so good for Duren as he has six points and five rebounds with about six minutes remaining in the first half. He has also added two blocks and an assist in 10 total minutes of action.

The Pistons currently lead the Magic by a score of 44-43, despite Orlando going on a 19-0 run earlier in the game.

Special shout out to our pals Weston and Charlie, who are at the game tonight!
