OKC’s No. 1 defense stifles Pistons as 5-game win streak snapped

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations on Monday night’s 110-83 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder at Little Caesars Arena

STREAK SNAPPER – The longest winning streak of the season ended with little suspense. The Pistons struggled through their lowest-scoring first half of the season, yet behind a late scoring burst from Blake Griffin (20 points despite not playing in the fourth quarter) trailed just 50-40. But it was over before the third quarter was out as Oklahoma City outscored the Pistons 30-14 over the first nine minutes of the quarter to take a 26-point lead.
