The Detroit Pistons came so close to having won two out of three, but a late game 7-0 Jazz run, a Lauri Markkanen 3-pointer and Jordan Clarkson being unstoppable in the second half and overtime led to the Jazz coming out on top of a wild, chaotic finish Wednesday night.
Detroit was up by four with 2:30 left in the game when the Jazz went on a 7-0 run to take the lead capped off by a Jordan Clarkson 3.
