The Detroit Pistons Aren't Deterred by a 4-Game Slide as Their East Lead Starts Eroding
The Pistons’ four-game losing streak follows a strong start with 45 wins this season and narrows their Eastern Conference lead to 2.5 games, coach Bickerstaff said.
- On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons' season-worst four-game skid reached four after a 121-110 loss to the Miami Heat, cutting their East lead to about 2 1/2 games.
- Against a tough schedule, the Pistons lost three games to Cleveland, San Antonio and Miami, with Saturday's Brooklyn defeat the outlier, reflecting roster youth challenges.
- Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren combined for 50 points on Sunday and are among the few holdovers Detroit is building around, while the Pistons were 12-2 immediately after a loss before this streak.
- Veteran Tobias Harris said `Obviously, it's probably our biggest dose of adversity all year`, while Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff called the skid part of the process.
- Years ago the Pistons were 14-68, and they have already won 45 games this season with 19 remaining, showing confidence they will recover and be ready for the playoffs.
