‘It’s the season’ – Pistons’ fate comes down to final 3 games after loss at OKC | Detroit Pistons
OKLAHOMA CITY – They got Blake Griffin back – oh, boy, did they get him back – and they got some good news from out of town. But they didn’t get a win that would have reduced their stress level over the season’s final five days. The Pistons loss at Oklahoma City despite Griffin’s 45 points – including a franchise record-tying 31-point first half – coupled with Orlando’s romp over Atlanta bumped the Pistons from No. 6 in the East playoff chase to No. 8. At 39-40, they hold the same record as Brooklyn but lose the tiebreaker to the Nets, who remain in seventh.
