Olivier Sarr is not to be outdone with 11 points at 4/7 including 1/1 at 3-pts, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

In a match without too much at stake, the Pistons tipped the match in the 3rd act in the wake of Jackson, author of 9 anointed during the first 4 minutes of the second half to fly away and take 22 points from advance. At the start of the last act Detroit led 83-66 and if OKC maintained hope with a return to 7 points in the last minute, Isaiah Livers folded the case at 3-pts.
