Fans began leaving Little Caesars Arena with more than six minutes remaining in the game. The reason? Entirely good.
The Detroit Pistons picked up an important win in convincing fashion, dispatching the San Antonio Spurs at LCA, 122-96. They led by 26 at halftime and the Spurs never got within more than 15 points the rest of the way.
With 6:42 remaining in the fourth quarter, Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a pair of free throws to extend the lead to 21, 100-79. Reaching the 100-point threshold triggered something in the crowd, and a handful of families decided to beat traffic.
