The Detroit Pistons<\/a> gutted out the win against the Charlotte Hornets, 110-104, at Spectrum Center on Monday, in a game that was marred by a bench-emptying brawl.<\/p>\n

Jalen Duren<\/a> and Isaiah Stewart<\/a> of the Pistons and Moussa Diabate and Miles Bridges<\/a> of the Hornets were all ejected in the third quarter for fighting.<\/p>\n

At first, it was Duren and Diabate who went at it<\/a> after a foul call, then Stewart and Bridges also joined the fracas. Stewart was on the court when it happened, storming at Bridges off the bench.<\/p>\n

But when the smoke cleared, it was the Pistons who had the last laugh<\/a>, snapping the nine-game winning streak of the Hornets.<\/p>\n

Fans were pumped up with the win.<\/p>\n
