Pistons playoff hopes take a hit in loss to Pacers

Detroit — This has all the markings of a race that’s going to go down to the wire.

And it could be a photo finish, the way it looks.

It’s a nightly scoreboard-watching experience for fans — and not just the Pistons’ scoreboard.

After the Pistons, Nets, Heat and Magic all lost on Monday, the Pistons looked to turn things around in their second straight game against the Indiana Pacers.

Playing their third straight game without Blake Griffin — who sat again because of left knee soreness — the Pistons struggled again against the Pacers, falling behind by double digits early in the fourth quarter and fading in the final minutes.
