DETROIT — After a brutal road trip that ended with three consecutive losses of nine points or more, the Pistons remained competitive in Wednesday's game with the Atlanta Hawks until waning seconds of the fourth quarter.
Bojan Bogdanovic drained back-to-back 3-pointers, including one as he was fouled for a four-point play, to bring the Pistons within one point of the Hawks. However, Trae Young was fouled on the ensuing possession and knocked down two of his 13 free throws to increase Atlanta's lead to three with just over a minute left.
Unfortunately for the Pistons, Saddiq Bey missed both free throw attempts that would've brought Detroit within one point. The Hawks increased their lead to five after a layup by John Collins and Bogdanovic made one more 3-pointer to make it interesting, but it wasn't enough as the Pistons dropped their fourth straight game in a 118-113 loss.
