Orlando — The Pistons and Orlando Magic are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and appear to have promising futures with their collectives of young talent, but are currently going through the growing pains of their respective rebuilds. Sunday marked the fourth meeting of the season between the Pistons and Magic and the common

The Orlando Magic thoroughly pummeled the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. It was mostly bad, but not all bad. After all, potential future Pistons star Victor Wembanyama did this earlier in the day: That’s about the only highlight I can provide… because the Pistons 128-102 loss in Orlando was the kind of game that never
The Detroit Pistons face the Orlando Magic tonight. Let’s talk about it. I’m belatedly writing this at halftime with the Pistons facing down a 19-point deficit against a young, superior Magic team. Detroit only managed to convert on three field goals in the entire second quarter. It’s as bleak as could be. Orlando is hitting
I was browsing around the internet moments after the laughably bad Detroit Tigers avoided being no-hit, when a Victor Wembanyama highlight graced the timeline on Twitter. “Wait, what the heck did I just watch?” I thought to myself.

HOUSTON — It’ll be a marquee weekend for basketball for Houston, as the city is hosting this year’s men’s basketball Final Four. But the weekend tipped off with a basketball game on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets own the NBA’s two worst records, and faced off Friday night.
The bad news is the Detroit Pistons dropped the most winnable game on their remaining schedule, falling 121-115 to the Houston Rockets. The good news, if you’re looking for it, is that the loss nearly cements Detroit’s status as the team who will finish with the worst record in the NBA. Therefore, Detroit is not
Friday’s slate of NBA games included several matchups with playoff implications, but there was a battle between the teams with the worst records in the league being held in Houston. Both franchises will be in line this summer to secure a top-five pick to add to their young rosters, but their latest meeting was about
The clock is ticking on the Pistons and their 2022-23 campaign, and the final few games are all about tinkering with different lineups and combinations. Pistons coach Dwane Casey used a couple of three-guard lineups in Wednesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rookie guard Jaden Ivey is playing with confidence down the final stretch
The BIG3, the 3-on-3 basketball league founded by rapper Ice Cube, will embark on its sixth season this summer, which includes a return to Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit. The league will tip-off at United Center Arena in Chicago on June 25 and will conclude its eight-week regular season in Detroit on Aug. 13
