It seems like each week I write these previews I talk about the previous game in which the Pistons almost won to put an end to their win streak, but a couple of mistakes down the stretch ultimately cost them. I am saying the same thing after Tuesday’s close loss to the Hawks in which the Pistons were up by 1 with under 2 minutes left.
The Hawks made more plays and came out on top, dropping the Pistons to 0-2 in In-Season Tournament play and continuing their losing skid. Normally, this game against Cleveland could be penciled in as a guaranteed loss, but the Cavs haven’t gotten off to the best start this season as their 5-6 record shows.
