Detroit (2-3) had great momentum on its side as it dominated Portland (2-3) 59-47 in the first half, also leading by 18 points. 10 turnovers in the second half combined with 38% from the field allowed the visitors to come back in the second half, while the absence of injured Jalen Duren (ankle) and Alec Burks (arm) was felt. Losing Scoot Henderson (right ankle) early in the second half, Shaedon Sharpe hurt the Pistons by scoring 29 points for the Blazers, including 15 in the third quarter, along with former player Jerami Grant. After the overtaking, there was nothing for Detroit to do, later complaining that they had received just 11 free throws against Portland’s 33.
