The Pistons ended their second-longest road trip of the year on a losing note with a 121-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
The Pistons entered the fourth quarter trailing by 10 after a third quarter full of turnovers and inefficient shooting inside the paint. However, Detroit began the final quarter on a 10-5 run to cut the deficit to five.
The Spurs weathered the storm thanks to six fourth-quarter points by former Pistons forward Stanley Johnson. San Antonio led by as many as 14 in the fourth quarter and Detroit failed to get the game within striking distance in the final few minutes.
