Owner Real Deal Posted March 16, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A happy postgame locker room was a rare sight early in the season for the Detroit Pistons, a struggling team that was playing as poorly as any club in the NBA. But those grim postgame blues have occurred infrequently of late for the surging Pistons, who have won five of seven games. Rodney Stuckey scored 35 points and Greg Monroe matched his career high with 32 for the Pistons, who used a huge third-quarter effort to pull away from the Sacramento Kings, in compiling a season-high points total in a 124-112 victory Wednesday. Despite a poor record, the Pistons (16-27) are only three games out of the eighth and last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons had a dismal 4-20 record on Feb. 1 when they lost their seventh straight. Since that loss to New Jersey, the Pistons are 12-7. This is clearly a different team that started the season and it was evident against the Kings. The Pistons were behind by 16 midway through the second quarter, yet dominated the remainder of the game. They shot 58 percent, made eight of 13 3-pointers, and had 29 assists and only 10 turnovers in an up-tempo game.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120314_DET@SAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
