Charlotte, N.C. — The Pistons have had some lopsided losses this season, and though they have been playing better in the past couple of weeks, they had something bigger looming over their heads on Sunday.
They had lost 15 straight to the Charlotte Hornets, and on the second night of a back-to-back, they had their work cut out for them.
The Pistons got some good contributions from some unlikely sources and ended their losing streak against the Hornets, 127-126, in overtime at Spectrum Center.
Kelly Olynyk hit the winning jumper as time expired in overtime, sending the Pistons’ bench into a frenzy.
