The Detroit Pistons' five-game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Saturday night against the Atlanta Hawks in a 112-95 loss.
Luckily, the Chicago Bulls appear to be in full meltdown mode, losing by 22 to the Orlando Magic, so the Pistons did not lose any of their two-game stranglehold on the No. 8 seed. The Indiana Pacers also lost to the Brooklyn Nets, keeping the Pistons just a hair back of the No. 7 seed. The Hornets got back to their winning ways, though, so the Pistons are three back of the Hive again after beating them on Friday night.
