Sometimes, there’s something admirable about a shorthanded team finding a way.
The Detroit Pistons showed that against the Indiana Pacers earlier this week, scratching and clawing for a much-needed win to snap an 11-game losing streak. Shorthanded once again and facing the Washington Wizards in DC tonight, the Pistons had a chance to start their first winning streak in lord knows how long.
But it’s hard to win when you’ve only got eight healthy guys.
Washington scored when it wanted and kept the few healthy Pistons at bay in the 117-97 loss on Tuesday.
