    Lawrence Frank made it clear before the game that his Detroit Pistons couldn't afford to lean on any built-in excuses after returning from overseas.

    Jet lag, a break in routine and a tough Boston opponent? Frank's team overcame all of it.

    "We bent, and we didn't break," the Detroit coach said.

The Pistons blew an 18-point second-quarter lead before pulling away again in the second half.
