Oklahoma City — The Pistons’ post-Andre Drummond era began with a flourish, with a new-look front line and some good effort from a short-handed roster.
It just wasn’t enough to topple the Oklahoma City Thunder, one of this season's surprise teams in the Western Conference.
The Pistons hung close until the final minutes, as the Thunder held on for a 108-101 victory on Friday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
