Detroit — Without three of their starters, the Pistons played one of their best games of the season in Saturday’s win over the Houston Rockets.
Tasked with the same challenge against the Washington Wizards, they couldn’t repeat the feat.
Both Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin sat out because of injuries, and along with Reggie Jackson’s extended absence because of a back injury, the Pistons were looking to replicate the formula.
