Playing in Denver has historically been a tall-task for the Detroit Pistons, who haven’t won at Ball Arena since 2016. With the Nugget’s returning their regular starters, and Detroit missing three of their starting five, it could have easily turned into a bloodbath. Luckily for Detroit, some unexpected performances led to a much needed 110-108 win.
Detroit fought hard all night. Throughout most of the game, they were the faster, more energized team, but when the game got tight down the stretch, so did the Pistons. Their offense sputtered half-way through the fourth quarter, and their double-digit lead eventually dwindled down to just one point, with a minute and a half to go.
