A team in transition

Compare the success rates of great offensive teams and great defensive teams, both for the Pistons and the NBA at large. See how a three-guard rotation might affect the Pistons.

Suns 117, Pistons 91

Hot Suns send weary Pistons to fifth loss in row

Maybe returning home will do the Pistons some good. Certainly the time spent on the road last week didn't accomplish much in the win column. - 11/23/2009

Sunday's top game: Celtics 107, Knicks 105 (OT)

Kevin Garnett's jumper gives Celtics OT win over Knicks

Kevin Garnett of the Celtics shoots the winning basket in overtime.

Paul Pierce carried the Celtics while the rest of the Big Three struggled. So when it came time for the winning shot, of course Pierce would take it. So the Knicks thought. - 11/23/2009

Jazz 100, Pistons 97 (OT)

Pistons lose seventh straight at Utah

After making a steal, Rodney Stuckey takes off ahead of Utah's Wesley Mathews.

Will Bynum lost the ball on a drive with 10 seconds to go in overtime, and Andrei Kirilenko sank two free throws after getting fouled, giving the Jazz the win. - 11/21/2009

Saturday's top game: Knicks 98, Nets 91

Lowly Knicks add to pain, drop Nets to 0-13

New Jersey's Brook Lopez -- and ball -- run into New York's Al Harrington.

No matter how bleak things look for the Knicks, they can take comfort knowing worse basketball is being played 10 miles away. - 11/21/2009

Pistons: Notebook

Pistons face tough task at home of Jazz

Ben Wallace, right, and the Pistons will try to beat the Jazz for the first time in nine games.

This is pleasant country, but the actual part of playing the Jazz has been a downright awful experience for the Pistons lately. - 11/21/2009

Friday's top game: Hawks 105, Rockets 103

Josh Smith's last-second shot gives Hawks another win

David Andersen of the Houston Rockets brushes the tip of his nose with his thumb while trying to catch a pass against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Josh Smith spent most of the fourth quarter cheering on his teammates from the bench. He was on the court, though, for the biggest play of the game. - 11/21/2009

Pistons: Notebook

Pistons' lack of assists proves costly

John Kuester wondered how long the Pistons' third-quarter woes would last Wednesday.

Here's one reason why the Pistons had such a poor third quarter Wednesday in their 87-81 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Pistons had one assist. - 11/20/2009

Knicks to Allen Iverson: No thanks

Allen Iverson averaged 12.3 points and 3.7 assists in three games with Memphis.

The New York Knicks said Friday they have decided not to pursue Iverson, the former Piston who was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. - 11/20/2009

Hornets 110, Suns 103

Peja Stojakovic leads Hornets past Suns

Emeka Okafor, shooting over Jason Richardson, had 13 points and 12 rebounds for New Orleans.

Stojakovic hit seven 3-pointers during a 25-point, 13-rebound performance, and the Hornets defeated the Phoenix Suns 110-103 on Thursday night. - 11/20/2009

Trail Blazers 87, Pistons 81

Pistons' latest comeback fizzles again

Brandon Roy of the Trail Blazers drives against Will Bynum on Wednesday in Portland. Roy finished with 20 points.

The Pistons, playing their fourth game in five nights (in four different cities) had few answers to counter the Trail Blazers -- until late in the game, which is becoming a custom. - 11/19/2009

Terry Foster: NBA Insider

Michael Jordan isn't Jackie Robinson of basketball

Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles.

LeBron James has his heart in the right place. But his suggestion that the NBA should retire Michael Jordan's No. 23 throughout the league is a bad idea. - 11/19/2009

Wednesday's top game: Magic 108, Thunder 94

Rashard Lewis and Magic overpower Thunder

Rashard Lewis of the Magic, right, pictured with Dwight Howard, sat out the fourth quarter Wednesday night but still finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

Rashard Lewis thinks he had a triple-double sometime in his basketball career, so he wasn't all that concerned that he didn't get a chance to post another one. - 11/19/2009

Lakers 106, Pistons 93

Pistons lit up by livid Lakers

Ben Gordon of the Pistons, left, looks for a way out of a double team from Ron Artest, center, and Lamar Odom on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers came into Tuesday's game angry, and the Pistons paid the price. But not without the Pistons giving the Lakers one big scare. - 11/18/2009

Ted Kulfan: Pistons Insider

Tayshaun Prince frustrated with injury

Tayshaun Prince, alongside teammate Charlie Villanueva, hasn't played since Oct. 31 because of an injured back. He's played in only three games this season and is averaging 12.3 points and five rebounds.

Sitting is driving Prince crazy. He's played nearly 500 consecutive games and is now on the outside, all because of a small ruptured disc in his back. - 11/18/2009

Tuesday's top game: Cavaliers 114, Warriors 108

Short-handed Warriors put up gutsy effort in loss to LeBron & Co.

Players fight for a loose ball on Tuesday.

Rookie Stephen Curry and the Warriors (3-7) dressed just seven healthy bodies. Then there was the matter of faceing LeBron James. - 11/18/2009
