Salt Lake City — The injuries are starting to catch up with the Pistons.
And so are the injuries.
And so are the losses.
And there’s not much season left to turn things around.
The Pistons played a familiar tune defensively and didn’t get their offense on track early — and the Utah Jazz took advantage, shooting a scathing 60 percent from the field in the first half. They built a 25-point halftime lead and coasted past the Pistons, 110-79, on Tuesday night at Vivant Smart Home Arena.
It’s an inauspicious start to the Pistons’ six-game western trip, with a matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.
