FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 120-115 overtime win over the Orlando Magic at Little Caesars Arena
HAD TO HAVE IT – That’s the kind of game the Pistons can’t afford to lose. They came dangerously close to doing so. A half-game behind Orlando and 1½ games out of the final playoff spot in the East coming into the game, the Pistons led by eight points with five minutes to go, needed an Andre Drummond put-back with 33 seconds left to tie and then missed a chance to win in regulation when Blake Griffin missed a 20-footer at the buzzer.
