To say these are two franchises going in different directions is an understatement. The Detroit Pistons were losers of eight in a row and 11 of 12. The Boston Celtics were winners of nine in a row and 11 of 12. Over those dozen games the point differential between the two teams was a stark
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics were the NBA’s hottest team, on a league-high nine-game winning streak entering Wednesday. The Detroit Pistons were the NBA’s coldest team, losing a league-high eight straight and 14 of their previous 16. And yet, it was the Pistons (12-46) who ended Wednesday with a victory. It was one of the Pistons’
Boston — Entering Wednesday’s matchup, the Boston Celtics were coming off a 48-point shellacking of the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Pistons were on the wrong end of some lopsided, double-digit losses. It made for what looked to be a predictable mismatch. It wasn’t quite that, as neither team led by double digits, and the Pistons

WASHINGTON D.C. — It didn’t take much time for Marvin Bagley III to show his skills.

Washington, D.C. — The Pistons didn’t waste time trying to get Marvin Bagley III some playing time. After coming to the Pistons last week in a deal at the trade deadline, Bagley made his debut on Monday night against the Washington Wizards. Bagley played with the second unit and had a good first game, but
WASHINGTON — Saddiq Bey had an energetic performance Monday night. The same can’t be said of his teammates. The Detroit Pistons lost their eighth game in a row, falling to the Washington Wizards on the road, 103-94. Detroit shot just 37.6% overall and 34.8% from 3. Bey, who attended DeMatha Catholic, the Washington-area high school
The Detroit Pistons fell to the Washington Wizards 103-94 with Michigan native Kyle Kuzma showing out with 23 points on 10-of-18 shooting for the Wiz.

What if I told you that this rare jewel of a game between the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards was happening on Valentine’s Day? Would you choo-choo-choose
Marvin Bagley III needed a fresh start. With the Sacramento Kings, Bagley did not live up to his 2018 draft position, going No. 2 ahead of Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trae Young. Numerous injuries held him to 13 games played during his sophomore season and 43 games last season. He struggled to find traction in
