The Detroit Pistons defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 110-104, at Little Caesars Arena on Friday evening.

The Pistons (17-39) and the Thunder (20-36) played a tight game that went down to the wire, but the Thunder couldn't take advantage of their strong start and when they tried to turn things around late in the fourth quarter, it was too late so Detroit sealed the win. Oklahoma City jumped to a first-quarter lead and outscored their rivals by a 32-25 score, but the Pistons responded with a 31-24 score in the second quarter to even things up. Detroit would pull away in the third following a 30-23 score and seemed in control the rest of the way, but the Thunder didn't give up and fought until the very final seconds of the game. It wasn't enough, however, and the Pistons sealed the win due to their sound execution down the stretch.

Jerami Grant chipped in with 18 points and seven rebounds, while Killian Hayes had nine points, seven assists and five steals.
