Detroit — The best way to get past a bad loss is with a better win.
Coming off their most disappointing loss of the season — after squandering a 25-point lead against the Clippers on Saturday — the Pistons made amends with maybe their most impressive victory.
The Pistons turned a 14-point lead heading into the final period into a laugher, demolishing the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets, 129-103, on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena.
The victory washes out the bad taste from Saturday’s loss and finishes the three-game home stand at 2-1. The Pistons (23-29) have a home-and-home against the struggling Knicks on Tuesday and Friday and have a chance to head into the All-Star break next week with some momentum.
