You know where the Detroit Pistons fall.
First it was Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone — then later two-time MVP Nikola Jokic — tossed by the officials for arguing calls. It felt like the Pistons finally had luck fall their way, and for a majority of the game, it looked like they might finally snap their 11-game skid.
Then, of course, they didn't.
Denver locked down in the fourth quarter as the Detroit offense went stagnant and cold, as it often does in the final minutes.
