Detroit — With their first two-game winning streak in six weeks, the Pistons looked like they were turning things around.
The won the first two games in their three-game homestand and were looking for the trifecta against the Sacramento Kings, who walloped the Pistons by 10 points on Jan. 10.
Even without Andre Drummond and Ish Smith, the Pistons had the game under control, with a 13-point margin in the fourth quarter. All they needed to do was put it away in the final minutes.
They never did — and the Kings snatched a 103-101 victory with an off-balance 3-pointer by Buddy Hield as the buzzer sounded, stunning the crowd at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night.
