Auburn Hills — Reggie Jackson’s return was a welcome sight for the Pistons fans at The Palace. But on the same night Jackson made his season debut, the defense departed — and the Pistons paid for it.
After a good start, they followed with a lackluster second quarter, allowing 35 points, which put them in a hole they couldn’t dig out of. The result was a 98-92 loss to the Magic on Sunday night at The Palace.
The loss snapped the Pistons’ three-game win streak and well as their seven straight wins against the Magic — including the last four at home.
