Pistons end six-game skid, win fight-marred game vs. Magic

DETROIT — Alec Burks scored a season-high 32 points, Saddiq Bey added 28 and the Detroit Pistons overcame the ejection of two players after a scuffle to beat the Orlando Magic 121-101 on Wednesday night and snap a six-game losing streak.

"I'm really proud of our guys," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. "We have had a lot of adversity, and with a young team, it is great to see them play like this."

Burks made his first 10 shots from the floor, including six 3-pointers, before missing a 3-point attempt with 28 seconds left that would have given him a career-high 35 points.
