Detroit — For some Pistons fans, the season is almost over and the last games don’t matter.
Nobody told Deividas Sirvydis that.
The rookie had a standout performance in the first half, before leaving the game because of a leg injury in the third quarter. Prior to that, Sirvydis turned some heads with his superb offensive play, but the shorthanded Pistons couldn’t stay with the Denver Nuggets in a 104-91 loss on Friday night at Little Caesars Arena.
Sirvydis had a season-high 16 points in 19 minutes and was a catalyst for the Pistons sticking with the playoff-bound Nuggets as long as they did.
