OKLAHOMA CITY — Shorthanded, the Detroit Pistons put up a fight against the NBA's top team.
They couldn't pull off the comeback, though, falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 119-103, on Wednesday at Paycom Center.
It was the Pistons' second straight loss, and it drew on the previous defeat, with Isaiah Stewart (two games) and Ron Holland and Marcus Sasser (one game each) suspended by the NBA following the team's brawl Sunday with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Additionally, the Pistons were without star guard Cade Cunningham, who missed his fifth straight game with a left calf contusion.
