For some reason, it seemed like the Pistons were able to pack more highlights into 48 minutes during their 43-point win over the Indiana Pacers than in virtually any other game this season. As a result of Detroit's dominance in the Central Division showdown, a game which saw the Pistons pick up their 30th win in the first half of the season, I wanted to put together a thread that gives each highlight the space it deserves.

The Pistons were dominant from start to finish against the Pacers on Saturday night, jumping out to a 21-2 lead right away in the first quarter. Detroit's defense continued to suffocate the Pacers, holding the visiting squad to just 25 points at halftime. 25 points! In the NBA, that's practically unheard of. 

So, here's a monster highlight to kick off the thread. I present to you, a thunderous Jalen Duren dunk. Please make special note of Cade Cunningham, who throws the lob and proceeds to point and laugh at Pacers big man Jay Huff, who was thunderously posterized by JD. 

Pure comedy from Detroit's All-Star point guard.
