The Detroit Pistons (2-17) played against the Lakers last night, and successfully added a 15th loss to this season’s most shameful streak. On Tuesday, the New York Knicks (11-7) beat the Charlotte Hornets by 24 points. The Knicks would have egg on their faces if they lost tonight, with the reeling Pistons appearing in the second of a back-to-back.
Yeah, well. While the Knicks thought about the Christmas presents they’ve yet to buy, or postgame dinner plans, or whatever else distracted their attention from the court, the Pistons nearly ran away with the game.
