Washington, D.C. — Reggie Jackson remembers the bad losses against the Washington Wizards all too well. The Wizards have won five straight at home in the head-to-head series, including a 43-point blowout in 2016, which still is fresh in many of the Pistons’ minds.
The Pistons looked to be on the way to another double-digit spanking, facing a 15-point deficit midway through the fourth quarter. They started to get some defensive stops and baskets on the other end, erasing the margin and taking the lead with less than five minutes left.
The Big Three of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter had an answer though, combining for 79 points in the Wizards’ 115-111 victory over the Pistons on Friday night at Capital One Arena.
