The reason the score was so low was the use of ZONE defenses Shortly after this game the Zone defense was banned because people got bored by the lack of scoring It is also to be noted that this was before the advent of the jump shot which was invented by a member of the San Francisco college team....Hank Lusetti... But at first it was considered walking because in order to get the shot off you had to move the pivot foot But it changed the game and increased scoring which made the game mpre exciting so the NBA change the walking CALL thereby making the moving pivot legal hldye@comcast.net

The Pistons were formed from earlier basketball semi-pro team in Fort Wayne that my dad played on in the early 1930's.
