NEW ORLEANS — The Pistons, searching for some consistency, faced off against one of the best teams in the NBA on Wednesday night.
The New Orleans Pelicans, led by the quick and high-flying Zion Williamson, stood in the way of Detroit’s second win in as many days.
In what was a physical game from the opening tip, the Pistons started the game well but quickly became outmatched and overpowered by the Pelicans’ physical intensity and depth. However, despite trailing by as many as 16 points, Detroit strung together several runs to make the game close in waning moments of the fourth quarter.
