At last, the Detroit Pistons are back in the Motor City after a tough West Coast road trip. While they ended the trip on a low note, the Pistons returned to Detroit feeling accomplished.

Despite going on the trip following a disappointing loss at home against the Utah Jazz, the Pistons opened up the stint with a bang. Against the Phoenix Suns, the Pistons collected a 133-125 win.

Two nights later, the Pistons waltzed into Crypto.com Arena and controlled a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers from start until finish. They defeated LeBron James and Anthony Davis’ squad 117-114.

While the Pistons struggled against the Kings, they managed to pull off an impressive comeback victory in the end. A 114-113 win for Detroit issued Sacramento its fifth loss in a row. The Kings ended up making a major change in the organization as they parted ways with the head coach Mike Brown the following day.

Detroit had a chance to sweep the stretch, but they came up short against the Denver Nuggets. A 134-121 Denver victory issued the Pistons a nice reality check. Now, they can use those results as motivation heading into their Wednesday night game against the Orlando Magic.

At this point, the Magic have won seven in a row against the Pistons. When the two teams met back in November, the Pistons came up short with an 11-point loss.

The Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic will battle it out on Wednesday night.
