Pistons’ Streak is History
The Detroit Pistons’ 10 game winning streak is officially over. In their first game after the All-Star break, the Pistons were unable to match the intensity that they had before the break. In fact, in the 103-85 home loss to the Orlando Magic, Detroit was woefully short of any intensity. Orlando was the last team to beat the Pistons before they started on their winning streak.
Although the game started off well for the Pistons, the Magic soon found their hot hands, and in the second and third periods blew Detroit off their own court 63-37. Over the game, the Magic shot 65% from 3-point range and had six players to score in double digits. Rashard Lewis led the team with 20 points 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. All-Star Dwight Howard, fresh off his win at the dunk contest, was held to only 8 points, but did pull down 8 rebounds, and blocked 4 shots.
Both teams are still comfortably in first place in their divisions, with Detroit leading by 10 games, and Orlando by 8.
