Pistons-Clippers Preview

Back from a winless road trip, the banged-up Los Angeles Clippers are looking for ways to improve their third-quarter performance.

So are the Detroit Pistons.

Opening a home-heavy portion of its schedule, Los Angeles tries to snap a four-game losing streak Friday and extend the Pistons' worst road start in 15 years.

The Clippers, one loss shy of their second 1-9 start in three years, play 11 of their next 16 at Staples Center, but they're returning from an 0-4 trip that was far more costly than losses added to their record.

Leading scorer Eric Gordon (21.1 points per game) injured his left shoulder in Saturday's 109-107 double-overtime loss to Utah and is day-to-day after missing the last two games. All-Star center Chris Kaman is likely sidelined for two weeks after spraining his left ankle Tuesday in a 101-82 loss to New Orleans.

Without Gordon, Kaman, Baron Davis (sore knee) and backup guard Randy Foye (left hamstring), Los Angeles used its fourth starting lineup of the season in Wednesday's 107-95 loss at San Antonio.

"We got five guys hurt. It's weird, we came out of the locker to warm up and it was like half our team out there," said rookie Blake Griffin, who struggled on the final two stops of the trip with 10.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. "It's like going into a battle with half your guys. But we can't make excuses."

Clippers first-year coach Vinny Del Negro needs to help his team find an answer for its third-quarter woes. Los Angeles, outscored by an average of 12.5 points in the third versus Denver and Utah to open its trip, is averaging a Western Conference-worst 19.7 points on 40.5 percent shooting in that quarter this season.

The Pistons (2-6) are making 39.4 percent in the third while averaging 21.0 points. Detroit has been particularly bad in the opening three minutes of the second half, shooting 26.5 percent (9 for 34).

Looking to win their third straight to open a four-game western swing, the Pistons were outscored 8-2 in the first 3:58 after halftime of Tuesday's 100-78 loss at Portland.

"We did not start out the third period the right way," said coach John Kuester, whose team is 0-4 on the road and has lost 13 of 15 visiting West opponents. "When you're on the road, mental toughness is paramount. The energy was not what it needs to be to win on the road."

Detroit, among the league's worst road teams in scoring (88.0 ppg) and field goal percentage (41.2), is off to its worst start away from home since dropping its first six in 1995-96.

The Pistons had won six consecutive road games against the Clippers before losing the teams' most recent matchup, 97-91 on Feb. 24.

Richard Hamilton led Detroit with 21 points in that defeat, but he's coming off a season-low four points Tuesday.

The Pistons were swept in last season's series after winning the previous 13 meetings.

Davis averaged 17.5 points, 8.5 assists and 6.0 boards versus Detroit last season, and it's possible he will return Friday after missing five of the last six games.

THE FACTS: The Clippers mismanaged a late lead in regulation and the Pistons clamped down on defense down the stretch as the they pulled out a 113-107 overtime victory over the Clippers at Staples Center Friday.

Both the Pistons and the Clippers came into the game struggling and at the bottom of their respective division standings. The short-handed Clippers, who have lost five straight, are now 1-9 for the second time in three years.

The Pistons (3-6) were led by Charlie Villanueva's season-high 30 points and Rodney Stuckey chipped in with 17 points and six assists. Eric Gordon finished with a season-high 28 points for the Clippers and Blake Griffin tallied 18 points and 18 rebounds.

QUOTABLE: "I felt really comfortable out there ... I was definitely determined to get a win on the road. We haven't been so good on the road and so this was a game we definitely needed."
-- Villanueva

THE STAT: 61.1 -- The Pistons' 3-point shooting percentage. They made 11 more 3-pointers than the Clippers.

TURNING POINT: The game was on the cusp of a blowout, but in the third quarter, Griffin brought the intensity. Griffin stole the ball from Stuckey and then threw down a reverse dunk in the open court, sparking a Los Angeles' 17-4 run to tie the game at 66-66 with 5:21 left. During the Clippers' run, the Pistons were 1-for-7 shooting and recorded three turnovers.

QUOTABLE II: "I had [the ball] under control, I was trying to get around [Prince] and I stepped on his foot and I just lost the ball. I probably should've held it a little bit and wait until the shot clock went down. It was definitely a tough loss. We came into this game thinking we desperately needed this win."
-- Gordon on the final play of regulation

HOT: In his first game back since missing his last two games with a bruised left shoulder, Gordon went 9-for-20 from the field for a team-high 28 points, which was the fifth straight game he has finished with 20-plus. At one point in the fourth quarter, Gordon scored 15 of the team's 17 points. Before the game, he told NBA.com that his shoulder was only at 70 percent. "I have to play with it for the next couple of weeks," said Gordon of the protective pad he wore. "At first it was throwing my shot off a bit ... it limited me in some ways."

NOT: After hitting a key 3-pointer in the final minute of regulation, the Clippers' Rasual Butler missed four wide-open attempts in overtime, including 0-for-3 from deep.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Villanueva finished with a game-high 30 points on 9-for-15 shooting. He did the bulk of his damage in the second and fourth period. In the second quarter, Villanueva scored 12 points including three 3-pointers. That hot touch carried over to the fourth period. Villanueva rattled in back-to-back step-back threes from the right corner late in the game for 12 points in the period.

ROOKIE WATCH: In his seventh start of the season, Clipper guard Eric Bledsoe tallied a season-high 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting. He had five assists but did record six turnovers in 45 minutes of play.

NOTABLE: Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said Baron Davis (sore left knee) would be back around Thanksgiving.
