Two years ago, I called Pistons center Andre Drummond a hilarious monster, and it was a fitting description.

The Flames And Wings Had An Old-Fashioned Dust-Up
Little-known Red Wing Luke Witkowski beat the heck out of Calgary’s Brett Kulak at the end of a Detroit blowout tonight, with a potential gray-area extra punch after he already clearly won.
