Detroit — Tom Gores, owner of the Pistons and CEO of Platinum Equity, had a front row seat to his team's first win of the 2022-23 season.
Gores watched Jalen Duren rip down vicious dunks and he watched Jaden Ivey put his speed on full display, often finishing at the rim with finesse. Lastly, he saw Cade Cunningham find Isaiah Stewart for the 3-pointer to ice the game.
As Gores watched the re-tooled Pistons — a team beaming with youth and eagerness to prove themselves — overcame a 15-point lead in the first half against the Orlando Magic, he couldn't help but think about the future.
