The Detroit Pistons seemed like one of the NBA's most improved teams during the early going. Since New Year's Day, the Pistons have played like a team bound for the lottery again.
They have dropped eight of their last 10 games and enter Wednesday's home matchup against the Utah Jazz with a five-game losing streak. The Brooklyn Nets handed them a 101-100 defeat in their last outing on a last-second bucket by ex-Piston Spencer Dinwiddie.
Andre Drummond's layup moments earlier gave Detroit its only lead of the half.
