The Pistons trailed the Cleveland Cavaliers by 23 points on Thursday and rallied back to take a one-point lead in the fourth quarter. However, it wasn't enough as Detroit suffered an 82-79 loss in Thomas and Mack Center.
Detroit had a chance to tie the game with 9.4 seconds left, but Jules Bernard's 3-point attempt was blocked by Cavs guard Cam Young. The ball wound up in Charlie Moore's hands with an open 3 from the corner, but his shot was short and the game came to a dramatic end.
Moore converted a 3-pointer to bring the Pistons within one with just over two minutes left.
