As John Wall dominated for 15 points and 12 assists, the Pistons looked far from a playoff team. The night is likely a fluke as the Pistons are headed into a nine-game home stand after winning seven of their last 10. Now at the ninth seed, Detroit’s loss may have been the wake-up call it needed.
Jackson started off the game poorly, turning the ball over twice and picking up two fouls in the first quarter while John Wall picked up eight points, five rebounds and six assists in the first frame. After returning from the bench, the same result persisted, picking up his third foul at the end of the first half.
