The Pistons were already without a pair of starters in Ersan Ilyasova and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. And a couple reserves in Reggie Bullock and Spencer Dinwiddie. Then Reggie Jackson turned up sick too.

It was just a one point game with only seven minutes remaining, but a flurry from Denver managed to put the Pistons away. A three point shot and offensive rebound seemed to lead to a couple of poor defensive stops.
