    Blake Griffin's first few days with the Detroit Pistons were a bit of a whirlwind.

    Detroit was able to win two close games with him, but coach Stan Van Gundy sees a lot of room for improvement.

    "I've got to get it figured out offensively," Van Gundy said. "I'm not helping him or us a lot. You could actually see today in the early fourth quarter, we were actually a lot smoother when he was out because we were just playing.

    "I've got this great player now, and so we're just sort of playing to him all the time, and the defense is all loaded up."

    Andre Drummond had 23 points and 20 rebounds, and Griffin made a key 3-pointer in the final minute to lift the Pistons to a 111-107 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night. Whatever Van Gundy's issues were with the offense, they didn't prevent Detroit from scoring 35 points in the final quarter.
