Pistons score season-high 141 points in overtime win over Hornets

A showdown between the two teams with the worst records in the NBA occured on Wednesday night, but the offensive firepower on display said otherwise.

The Pistons and Charlotte Hornets were deadlocked at 127-127 with just one second left in regulation. Terry Rozier nearly drained the game-winning 3-pointer but the ball rimmed out, resulting in the Pistons' second overtime game of the season.

Alec Burks scored five consecutive points for the Pistons in overtime to give them a 135-134 lead with 2:17 left in the game. Killian Hayes, who drained two clutch 3-pointers toward the end of regulation, answered the call yet again with a step-back triple to give Detroit a four-point cushion with 1:11 left.
