DETROIT — The Pistons appeared destined for their fourth consecutive loss as they faced a 15-point deficit during halftime against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
However, a different team emerged from the locker room to enter the third quarter. The careless and sloppiness exhibited through the first 24 minutes was now much more poised and precise.
Detroit produced a 36-point third quarter highlighted by defense, transition points and shotmaking, which was enough to climb back and eventually slow down the Thunder’s momentum to grind out a 112-103 win on Monday.
