Pistons' 'best defensive effort' garners win over Spurs

Detroit — The Pistons weren’t going to let it happen again.

In the first meeting this season against the Spurs, in San Antonio on Dec. 4, they had a nine-point lead in the third quarter and let it slip away.

No comeback this time.

The Pistons had one of their best defensive performances of the season, holding the Spurs to a season-low in points, taking an impressive 93-79 victory on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena, for their sixth win in the last eight games.

The victory also was their first over the Spurs since Jan.
