'We allow them to get steam': Pistons let lead slip, Cavaliers waltz away with OT victory

Detroit — On Tuesday, the Pistons rallied from a 15-point deficit and pulled out a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on a go-ahead basket in the final minute. They held on in the final seconds to take the win, ending their six-game road trip on a high note.

In Thursday’s rematch, the Pistons had the big lead and let it get away.

Turnabout is fair play.

The Pistons squandered an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter and a four-point advantage in overtime, falling in the extra period, 115-112, to the Cavs at Little Caesars Arena.
