Detroit — After losing five straight games, the Pistons got what they needed.
The cure for a long losing skid is an easy win. By the end of the third quarter on Thursday night, the Pistons already had scored a game’s worth of points.
That made the fourth quarter a formality.
The Pistons had one of their best offensive performances of an otherwise dismal season, cruising past the Washington Wizards, 132-102, at Little Caesars Arena and turning a troubling trend with a win over a struggling team.
