'Blitzed': Pistons lay egg with time running out

Salt Lake City — The season is starting to catch up with the Pistons.

And so are the injuries.

And so are the losses.

And there are only 15 games left to try to salvage anything from this season.

The Pistons’ defense was off-key early and they didn’t get their offense on track — and the Utah Jazz took advantage, shooting a scorching 81 percent from the field in the first quarter and 60 percent in the first half.

The Jazz built a 25-point halftime lead and coasted past the Pistons, 110-79, on Tuesday night at Vivant Smart Home Arena.
