While everyone was expecting fireworks from LeBron James vs. Isaiah Stewart Round 2, the action came from just about everywhere else on the floor. Ultimately, the Pistons found themselves in a hole they couldn’t dig themselves out of, with a fourth-quarter rally falling short and falling 110-106 at Staples Center on Sunday night.
The Detroit Pistons surrendered a 17-0 run in the third quarter, but got a big spark from their bench and scratched and clawed their way back into the game. The damage proved too severe, but they at least showed some fight and some offensive flow that was reminiscent of last season.
