The Detroit Pistons

C. The Pistons fought hard, trimming a 17-point second half deficit to four points in the fourth quarter, but their slow start to the second half was too much to overcome. Jon Leuer was fantastic. The former Memphis Grizzly and Phoenix Sun scored 22 points and collected six rebounds. He also shot 2-for-4 from outside. As a team Detroit shot just 29 percent from deep. It’s tough win games like that. Georgia native <a rel=. 15-20. Eastern Conference. DETROIT PISTONS
