Detroit — With a rash of injuries and dealing with COVID issues, the Pistons had just one win in December. They flipped the calendar and got off to a good start in the new year.
Playing with just three regular roster players and a cadre of players from the G League, the Pistons gutted their way through regulation and stayed close in overtime, long enough for Saddiq Bey to hit a go-ahead 3-pointer from the corner with 1.9 seconds remaining.
The Pistons held on the final possession for a 117-116 overtime, ending their four-game losing streak ad sending the crowd at Little Caesars Arena into a frenzy with their first victory since Dec.
