The Detroit Pistons led the Los Angeles Clippers from the 8:58 mark in the first quarter all the way until the 9:12 mark in the fourth. But the Clips kept fighting and the Pistons kept declining to take advantage of opportunities and making the kinds of mistakes typical of a bad basketball team.
In the end, it was the three former Pistons — Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris and Luke Kennard — who hit all the big shots in the second half and delivered the comeback 106-102 victory for LA.
Marcus Morris led all scorers with 31 points while Luke Kennard had 16, including 11 in the decisive fourth quarter, and Reggie Jackson added 15 points, nine assists and eight rebounds.
