The Pistons won back-to-back games for the first time since the first week of the
season a 128-122 comeback victory over the Trail Blazers in Portland. Jalen Duren
had 27 points and 22 rebounds in the game, which went to overtime. The team said Cade Cunningham delivered a halftime speech to motivate them they were down as many as 23 points before rallying.
After all of the trades made before the deadline the Pistons ended up waiving several players, including former top 10 pick Killian Hayes, Danuel House Jr, and veterans Danillo Gallinari and Joe Harris.
