Something about playing at The Palace of Auburn Hills does diabolical things to James Johnson.
Once upon a time, Johnson cocked a joint back and banged on Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond. On Tuesday night, it was Marcus Morris feeling the brunt of the Johnson's Palace malice.
Morris tried to step out and take a charge as Johnson took off from the bottom of the circle. He was too late. Johnson banged on him from about 12-feet out, with the officials adding insult to injury by whistling Morris for a blocking foul.
