'It's a funk': Pistons stumble over rebuilding blocks in third straight loss

Detroit — In the post-trade deadline era, the losses look like they’re going to be piling up, as the Pistons go full-steam-ahead in their rebuild.

Some of the losses are going to be close; others are going to be blowouts. Monday’s defeat was somewhere in between. Still, a loss is a loss.

The Pistons dropped their third straight game, an 87-76 defeat to the Charlotte Hornets at Little Caesars Arena, which marked a four-game sweep for the Hornets in the head-to-head matchup this season. The Pistons head into the All-Star break following Wednesday’s road matchup against the Orlando Magic.
