Detroit Pistons Ron Holland out against Utah Jazz; Teammates support him

The Detroit Pistons dropped Thursday’s game to the woeful Utah Jazz, who entered with just five wins in 25 games, but it wasn’t for lack of energy… at least in the end.

The Pistons rallied from a 29-point deficit to get within five points in the final two minutes. And that was without rookie Ron Holland, who was ejected from the game in the third quarter.

With 1:37 left in the third quarter, Pistons star Paul Reed rebounded a missed three-pointer from Malik Beasley and put the ball in. As he turned to run back on defense, Utah guard Jordan Clarkson blocked his path and they collided.
