The Detroit Pistons came into State Farm Arena and avenged their defeat at home to the Atlanta Hawks by delivering an extremely entertaining 125-122 loss to the home team.
This was an extremely tight, trash talk-filled game in which Pistons star Blake Griffin was summarily ejected and multiple players got into the faces of one another. Trae Young and Bruce Brown were jawing, Vince Carter and Reggie Jackson seemed to take umbrage with what the other was saying – plenty of intrigue.
The game itself lived up to the tense atmosphere.
