Orlando, Fla. — During a stretch of games when wins are like diamonds — rare but precious — the Pistons are at a point they’ll take having a close game in the final minutes. With so many double-digit losses of late, they’re just trying to hang on until they can right the ship.
The Pistons trailed by nine with 3:34 remaining but grasped and clawed to get within one possession in the final seconds Sunday. They tied it with 2.5 seconds remaining, but Evan Fournier made a floater at the buzzer, sending the Orlando Magic to a 109-107 victory at Amway Center.
