The Detroit Pistons players went to the Barclays Center by subway on Sunday due to traffic that was made very difficult by the New York marathon.
Rather imposing users took line 3 of the New York subway on Sunday. The Detroit Pistons players went this way to the Barclays Center to play their NBA match against the Brooklyn Nets. A rather unusual means of transport as the teams are generally transported by bus to their meeting place. But the holding of the famous New York marathon in the morning seriously complicated traffic conditions in the city, pushing the Pistons to favor underground routes to arrive on time before the kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
Players urged to sit to avoid bad injury
Several players like Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. were seen with their suitcases for the meeting. The scene of the delegation in the New York subway was filmed and broadcast on the social networks of the NBA franchise. According to ESPN, Pistons staff members were careful to ask players to stay seated during the ride and to be careful not to hit their heads when getting off the car to avoid any bad injuries before the game.
This little metro trip seems to have amused the team, smiling when they arrived at the meeting site. It even brought them luck since the Pistons beat the Nets (106-92) to get their second victory of the season (for five defeats, 13th in the Eastern Conference). Six players scored ten or more points, including Cade Cunningham's 18 points, the team's best total.
Detroit concluded its trip to the Big Apple on a good note, which began Friday with a heavy defeat against the New York Knicks (128-98).
