Clippers drop another one, which makes them 2-8 in their last 10. They were up early, but Detroit kept finding ways to keep themselves in the game. It was a tough battle all game until the 4th quarter, where Rasheed Wallace took over early and the Pistons sparked a 16-3 run. After that the Clips didn't have anything left, as Billups and Rip continued to hit shots to put them away. LA put up a good fight, but like expected the Pistons pulled away at the end. Detroit has too many weapons, that can do so many different things, and the Clips couldn't match up down the stretch of the game. For LA, Brand impressed as usual putting up another double double, which is his 33rd on the year. Box Score
Didn't get to watch this game, out most of the day and barely got home in time for the 2nd half of the Lakers. I didn't expect us to win this one anyway, but I didn't expect us to lose by more than 10.
We need to play defense, not to dowplay the Pistons, but they're not a high scoring team, and when they score 100 on us you know something is a little wrong. Brand and Quenting shott good, but Maggette was a litte off on his shooting but was able to get to the line and convert. The all almost passed the 20 point mark, but Maggette was one point off. Brand and Quentin were also up on the boards and both recorded a double double for the game. Jaric was way off in his shooting but collected 8 dimes. Simmons was also off today, but rebounded well, and Kaman had a good outing. Again it all comes down to defense, its needs to be stepped up for the Clips to ever be succesful.
