Pistons misfire at end
Quote:
Winning in the fourth quarter hasn't been a Pistons forte this season. Before Friday, they had lost nine of 13 games when trailing after three quarters.
Make that 10.
The Washington Wizards reclaimed the best record in the Eastern Conference with a 99-96 victory at the Palace.
A bad third quarter put the Pistons (24-17) behind by eight points entering the fourth. This time, they showed their mettle. They took a late lead after running the same play ad nauseam -- a multioption high-post play that operates through Tayshaun Prince -- and scored on it nine straight times.
