The Detroit Pistons racked up another exciting and competitive loss behind strong play from their young players against the Dallas Mavericks.

It was an epic night for the tank, as both the Rockets and Timberwolves inexplicably won their games and the Pistons dropped to the second-worst record in the NBA.

The Rockets are likely to end up with the worst record, which comes with the bonus of a guaranteed top-five pick, but otherwise the Pistons are just fine staying in the bottom three, as all three teams will have the same odds at a top-four pick and the number one overall.
