Charlotte, N.C. — The Pistons’ losing streak to the Charlotte Hornets is over.
It’s not just over; it ended in impressive fashion. The usual suspects helped the Pistons stay in the game all the way until the end, and a couple of unsung heroes helped make it a thrilling win.
Kelly Olynyk hit the winning buzzer beater, lifting the Pistons to a 127-126 victory in overtime on Sunday night at Spectrum Center, ending a 15-game head-to-head skid against Charlotte, dating to October 2017.
It wasn’t just the streak of four-plus years; it was also the Hornets’ lopsided 141-119 victory in Detroit on Feb.
