Detroit — The Pistons looked to be on their way to ending their eight-game losing streak, but somewhere in the second half, things got away from them. The Oklahoma City Thunder, also on an eight-game skid, erased the deficit and steamed ahead for a win.
It’s just another setback in a tough season for the Pistons, who have had their share of injuries and other issues. It’s not what things looked to be in the offseason, when the Pistons added Cade Cunningham to an improving roster.
The next stage of improvement is taking a little longer than some expected.
