Detroit - The Pistons haven’t had many victories that would be considered easy. There was an opportunity for them to have one on Saturday, but instead Detroit relinquished an early 14-point lead to a lowly Houston Rockets team.
With two teams at the bottom of the league’s standings, the game was an opportunity for the Pistons to show they are further ahead than the Rockets.
Instead, the two teams traded double-digit deficits, setting up a pivotal fourth quarter.
With the Pistons down by one with less than two minutes remaining, Bojan Bogdanovic passed on a 3-pointer and drove baseline to find Alec Burks in the other corner for a wide-open 3-pointer to give the Pistons a two-point lead.
