Pistons clicking again, while short-handed Sixers dealing with another injury
The Detroit Pistons and their two All-Stars got back on track on Tuesday. Now they will look to build a winning streak when they host the banged-up Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.
Detroit snapped a four-game losing streak -- its longest of the season -- by pounding the host Brooklyn Nets 138-100. The Pistons avenged a 107-105 home loss to the Nets the previous week when Detroit squandered a 23-point, second-half advantage.
"We did what we were supposed to do," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said.
