CHARLOTTE – It won’t count any more than the five losses that preceded it, but it’ll be a little tougher to wash away the sting.
“Yeah. It’s tough,” Langston Galloway said after the 108-107 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. “We’re up 10. We should close this game out. We should win this one going away. This is a tough one tonight. Tough one.”
Given their circumstances – five-game losing streak, still down two key players even after Stanley Johnson returned following a three-game absence, spotting Charlotte a 14-point first-half lead – the Pistons were on the brink of what felt like a springboard victory.
