Orlando, Fla. — During a stretch of games in which wins are like diamonds — rare but precious — the Pistons are at a point they don’t have many that are close games in the final minutes. With a slew of recent double-digit losses, they’re just trying to hang on until they can right the ship.
That’s going to take some time and the Pistons are trying to tread water until then.
After their team meeting following Friday’s loss at Indiana, the Pistons had a similar lackluster performance, but scrapped their way back, erasing a nine-point deficit with 3:34 remaining to tie it in the final seconds.
