It was an ugly loss for the Detroit Pistons as the Brooklyn Nets stopped their win streak dead in stride and handed the Motor City squad a 75-103 loss on Monday night in Barclays. The Chicago Bulls’ game gave way to false prophecy.
The Detroit Pistons overcame a 21-point deficit against the Bulls, but the Nets are a different animal with peak playoff seeding at risk. Spoiler alert: It was going to take more than a single-made field goal from Blake Griffin and 13 points from Andre Drummond to hold that sixth seed tight.
