Detroit — After two lopsided losses in Charlotte and Memphis, the Pistons finally had a close game at the end.
After leading for most of the game, the Pistons put it away in the final minutes in the fourth quarter, pushing to a 97-92 victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.
In a matchup of the teams with the two worst records in the league, the Pistons pulled out their third victory in the last five games, withstanding a late charge by the Magic down the stretch.
Hamidou Diallo and Trey Lyles led the way with a fourth-quarter surge.
