DETROIT — Cade Cunningham swung his arm in a circle to celebrate the Saddiq Bey bomb. And as a frustrated group of 76ers walked back to the bench for a desperation timeout while trailing by double digits with less than two minutes to play, the Pistons’ public-address announcer unleashed his textbook “DEEE-TROOOIT!”
The Sixers messed around with the lowly Pistons and then fumbled away the game in the fourth quarter, losing, 102-94, Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.
The Pistons entered Thursday with just 20 wins, but have recently been putting scares into superior teams. Thursday night, they hung around all game until outscoring the Sixers, 29-15, in the final period.
