Pistons stay close against 76ers but lose fourth straight

Detroit — On paper, the Pistons looked to be overmatched in facing the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the best record in the Eastern Conference. As they’ve done all season, the Pistons played up to their level of competition, giving the Sixers a hard time in trying to put the game away.

The Pistons stayed close the entire game and took it down to the wire, before the Sixers pulled away in the final minutes for a 114-10 victory on Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena.

Wayne Ellington continued his strong play with 17 points Svi Mykhailiuk added 15 points and Sekou Doumbouya 13 points for the Pistons (3-13), who have lost four straight games.
