The Detroit Pistons, ranked last in the National Basketball Association (NBA) this season, missed a close victory due to an unclear decision and fell into a swamp of six consecutive losses.

The balance between the two teams, which had been fighting closely throughout the game, seemed to tilt towards Detroit 37 seconds before the end. 카지노
Shortly after the game time, Quentin Grimes scored a golden layup, giving Detroit a 111-110 lead.
In New York's subsequent attack, Jaylen Brunson ignored the rim until the 3-pointer he threw 21 seconds before the end of the game, and after a struggle during the rebound, New York was able to secure possession of the ball again with difficulty.
However, Dante DiVincenzo made a passing mistake.
Detroit's Osar Thompson intercepted the ball and attempted to pass it straight to the opposing side.
It was 8 seconds before the end of the game.
Then, trying to make up for his mistake, DiVincenzo launched himself at Thompson from the side of the court.
The two players collided strongly, but the referee did not call a foul.
After a contest, Brunson picked up the ball that fell on the court and passed it to Josh Hart, who was digging into the goal.
Three seconds before the end, Hart overcame Jaylen Duren's defense and scored behind the goal, earning a foul.
It was the moment when the fierce battle came to an end.
After the game, Detroit coach Monty Williams strongly criticized the referees for not making a special decision on Thompson's collision scene.
Coach Williams, who came to the press conference with an excited expression, said, "It was clearly the worst call of the season," and pointed out that DiVincenzo 'dive' toward Thompson's lower body.
“It’s a terrible thing.
Scenes like this should not be missed in NBA games,” he said, adding, “I’m tired of pointing out things like this anymore.”
