This time a week ago, the Detroit Pistons were an improving team that had trouble beating the league’s best. Since then, they’ve notched a pair of wins over a pair of good teams in the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics.
Enter, the Denver Nuggets.
Detroit will face off against Nikola Jokic and company one final time this season at LCA on Friday. The Nuggets are coming off a hard-luck loss across Lake Michigan against the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday, their third game in four days.
Can a fired up Pistons team upend a tired Nuggets squad to extend their winning streak to nine games?
