Last week I was asked by the Detroit Pistons to cover their open practice at the Palace of Auburn Hills. They were holding an open practice for the general public and also had some special events going on. The first event was the Spirit Three Point Competition. This was the final round and twelve participants had made it. Next was the Pistons open practice and scrimmage. Lastly, all the season ticket holders were treated to a meal and a chance to mingle with the players. Here are some of my images. Enjoy!

Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond goof off with a video camera before practice.
