Pistons GT (3-3) squared off with Blazer5 Gaming (2-2) last night where the teams traded blowout victories.
After a competitive first few quarters that saw Pistons GT enter halftime with a 3 point lead, everything seemed to go right for us in the third quarter. As a team, we held the opposition to just 11 points during the six-minute stretch, extending our advantage to 18 points by the final frame.
Radiant dominated to the tune of 39 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals including 8-for-14 from three-point range. This marked Radiant’s second-straight 30+ point performance and Detroit’s second-consecutive regular season win.

Game two was less fun for Pistons GT fans. Instead of holding a 3 point lead at halftime, the team was facing a 3 point deficit. Detroit kept Blazer5 Gaming within reach entering the fourth quarter, but it was Portland who would go on a game-changing run to end all hopes of a comeback.
