In another close back-and-forth matchup, the Detroit Pistons came up short against the Charlotte Hornets. After building momentum from two consecutive victories, the Pistons lost their chance at three straight courtesy of a putback layup by Hornets forward Brandon Miller as the time expired.
Detroit head coach JB Bickerstaff clarified what the 108-107 loss means for his young team.
“I mean, it stings obviously. To play the way we played, make the plays that we made down the stretch to get ourselves back in the game and then gain the lead, the contribution from everybody, Ron (Holland II) making a huge play down the stretch,” Bickerstaff explained.
