Overview
- Detroit lost 113-105 in Orlando on Saturday following a third-quarter switch that saw Paul Reed take Jalen Duren's spot.
- Duren shot 3-for-10 for eight points in Game 3 and is averaging nine points on 41.7% shooting through three games.
- Orlando has been sending extra defenders to the post, with coach Jamahl Mosley 'loading up' on Duren and cutting off lob passes.
- Despite the offensive slide, Duren contributed on defense in Game 3 with five blocks and several deflections that led to early points.
- With no new deal in place, social media reaction has questioned a max extension for Duren, which could weigh on summer talks with Detroit.
