Game Notes

 

Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Monroe led the way with 24 points and 16 rebounds as the Pistons defeated the Hornets, 89-87, at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday. Detroit had five scorers in double figures including 17 points from Rodney Stuckey and 11 each from Tayshaun Prince and Jonas Jerebko. The Pistons have now won two straight after dropping seven in a row.

 

However, the Pistons had one more run left in them as an 8-2 push, capped by Stuckey's jumper gave them an 83-76 lead with under two minutes to go in the contest.

 

Jason Maxiell's put-back dunk with under a minute to go gave the Pistons an 85-80 lead. The Hornets would get two good looks from deep, but they were off the mark, and the Pistons secured the second rebound.

 

Monroe scored the Pistons' final eight points of the second quarter but Ariza's 17 first half points were too much as the Hornets took a 44-41 lead into intermission.

 

A Walker Russell jumper with one second on the clock made the score 65-61 as Detroit took a four-point advantage into the final stanza.

 

Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Love had 25 points and 18 rebounds Saturday and the Minnesota Timberwolves reached .500 for the first time this season with a 100-91 win over the Houston Rockets. Luke Ridnour added 22 points while Ricky Rubio scored 13 with 11 assists for the Timberwolves, who have won five of seven.

 

The Timberwolves snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Rockets at home and won for only the third time in the last 18 meetings overall. Their last home win over Houston came more than five years ago on January 7, 2007.

 

Kevin Durant had his fifth consecutive double-double, scoring 22 points and ripping down 11 rebounds, and James Harden dropped in 19 points off the bench as the Thunder lost their fourth straight game in San Antonio.
