    <h3>Surprising Clippers aim to stay unbeaten against Pistons</h3>

    AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) - The undermanned Los AngelesClippers look to remain unbeaten and continue their unexpectedearly-season success when they take on the Detroit Pistons atthe Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday night.


    The Clippers, who join the Boston Celtics as one of two clubswithout a loss, secured their fourth straight win on Wednesdaywith a 104-89 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Sam Cassellscored 35 points for Los Angeles, which started 4-0 for thefirst time since 1985-86.


    It was a much-needed performance by Cassell, who picked up theslack for injured guard Cuttino Mobley (groin) and forward RubenPatterson (finger). Both players were injured in Wednesday'scontest and will be questionable on Friday.


    Injuries are nothing new for the Clippers, who lost franchisecenterpiece Elton Brand to a serious injury in the offseason.The All-Star forward ruptured his left Achilles tendon whileplaying 1-on-1 with teammate Chris Kaman during a workout.

    Brand most likely will sit out the entire season after surgeryto repair the injury. Ironically, Kaman has more than filledthe void down low, averaging an astonishing 16.8 points and 16.5rebounds through four games.


    Los Angeles already was shorthanded without reserve point guardShaun Livingston, who suffered a gruesome injury to his leftknee last February - breaking his leg, dislocating his kneecapand tearing multiple ligaments simultaneously.


    But without some of their key performers, the Clippers have notmissed a beat offensively, averaging 109.0 points in their fourwins - second best in the NBA thus far.


    The Pistons will be looking to bounce back from their first lossof the season, a 97-93 setback against the Chicago Bulls onThursday. Rasheed Wallace scored 36 points but missed twocrucial shots in the waning seconds for Detroit.


    The Pistons, who have not lost to the Clippers since November 3,2002, look to take advantage of their home court after playingthree of their first four on the road. Detroit held on for aone-point victory against the Atlanta Hawks in its lone homecontest last Sunday.
