The Pistons late season magic wore off as they fell 105-101 to the Washington Wizards at the final game ever played at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Pistons weren’t able to continue their end of season surge as they came up short against the Washington Wizards tonight. It wasn’t the ideal way to send off the Palace but it was a night to enjoy by many Pistons greats such as Isiah Thomas and Chauncey Billups as they were in attendance.
The Wizards led for most of the night before a third quarter surge by the Pistons which kept them in the game late. Ultimately, Bradley Beal proved too much to handle as he scored inside and out throughout the entire game. Beal finished with 33 points on 13/20 shooting.
There were not very many bright spots for the Pistons tonight. Tobias Harris came alive after a slow start and led the Pistons with 22 points. Reggie Bullock continued to knock down three pointers and play solid defense.
The Pistons will take on the Orlando Magic in their season finale on Wednesday.
