    San Antonio was already down eight points when the Spurs took a timeout around the midway point of the first quarter.

    Then, after a turnover led to a Detroit dunk, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called another timeout, just 14 seconds after the first.

    "Just mental errors, mental errors defensively, and gave them some easy buckets," San Antonio guard Bryn Forbes said. "I don't know if it was to slow the run, but kind of get our head on right -- kind of slow their pace there."

    The Spurs responded well after those early problems, taking the lead by halftime and cruising to a 119-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points, and Popovich moved another step higher on the NBA's career wins list.
