Detroit — It was a familiar finish for the Pistons, with what has become a familiar result.
Play hard, stay within a reasonable distance and fight for a win down the stretch.
That script almost had a rewrite in the final minutes, but the Orlando Magic made some big shots in clutch time and secured a 119-112 victory on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena.
It’s the third straight loss and sixth in the last seven games for the Pistons (19-46), who were without seven of their key players because of injuries and rest.
