PHOTOS: Best images from Thunder’s 120-104 loss to Pistons

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered their worst loss of the season when they fell to the Detroit Pistons, 120-104, on Sunday.

The Thunder couldn’t collect enough stops in the second half to overtake the Pistons. By the end of the third quarter, Detroit scored 100 points — a surprising result considering they were without Cade Cunningham.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 31 points and he only played the first three quarters. Jalen Williams tallied 20 points.

Jalen Duren was a monster on the boards as he finished with a 22-point and 21-rebound double-double. Jaden Ivey collected 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Bojan Bogdanovic tallied 17 points and Isaiah Stewart scored 11 points.

Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s 16-point loss to the Pistons on Sunday.
