Pistons squander 17-point lead, fall in overtime to Hawks

After losing three of their last four games, the Pistons were looking to finish the last game of the their three-game road trip in Miami and Atlanta.

They had an impressive win in the first game and lost a 19-point lead in the second half but had one of their best games of the season in Monday’s matchup against the Hawks.

That is, until they let another lead slip away.

The Pistons led by 17 midway through the fourth quarter and they couldn’t hold on, falling to 123-115 in overtime on Wednesday night at State Farm Arena.
