The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Detroit Pistons, 100-98, at Little Ceasars Arena on Wednesday evening.

The Clippers (39-18) had to work harder than expected to get past the Pistons (16-39) in a game where they didn't have Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Marcus Morris, as they had to mount a fourth-quarter comeback to secure the victory on the road. The Clippers grabbed the lead in the first quarter with a 30-27 score and made it a four-point game by halftime when they also won the second quarter by a 23-22 score, but Detroit turned things around in the third quarter and grabbed a four-point lead following a 28-20 third-quarter score. The Clippers were down until late in the fourth quarter, but they turned things around just before it was too late and ended flipping things around to earn a two-point victory on the road.
