The Detroit Pistons have put themselves in a dangerous position after their loss against the Charlotte Hornets. They hang on to the playoff spot by a thread and worst of it all; they let the Hornets become a potential playoff team.
The Pistons could have eliminated the Hornets Sunday afternoon with a win. After going down as many as 23 points and swarming all the way back to bring the game within one point in the fourth; they failed to capitalize on the opportunity and take the lead. Charlotte extended their lead and eventually won the game.
The worst part of it all is the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic have both clinched a playoff spot.
