The Detroit Pistons fall to 13-13 after a disappointing loss to the 6-13 Philadelphia 76ers, 97-79.

Right when the Detroit Pistons have a prime opportunity to expose a weaker team, they blow it.

Yes, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was sidelined with an injury, though Joel Embiid was also out for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Overall, Detroit was unprepared going and deserved to lose to one of the worst teams in the NBA. Sunday night’s game was nonetheless disappointing, depressing, and frustrating for Piston fans with little good coming from it.
