Reggie Jackson leads Nuggets past Pistons for 107-103 win after Nikola Jokic ejected

Associated Press  

DETROIT — Reggie Jackson scored 21 points and carried Denver in the fourth quarter after two-time MVP Nikola Jokic was ejected in the first half, and the Nuggets handed the Detroit Pistons their 12th straight loss, 107-103 on Monday night. “There were just too many fouls and too many offensive rebounds allowed down the stretch.” Aaron Gordon’s three-point play gave the Nuggets a 106-103 lead with 1:25 to play, and Denver blocked shots on Detroit’s next three possessions. “KCP probably made the defensive play of the game when Reggie got beaten off the bounce and he came over and got the stop without fouling.” The Pistons didn’t score in the last 1:41, missing their last four shots. The Nuggets outscored the Pistons 25-24 in the third quarter to take a 81-79 lead, but Stanley Umude had eight points and an assist in Detroit’s 10-3 run to start the fourth.
