Bobcats-Pistons Preview

It may not seem like much, but earning a third straight victory would be a major stride for a Detroit Pistons team concluding another disappointing season.

The Charlotte Bobcats are hoping to salvage some pride as well.

Detroit seeks an eighth victory in nine meetings with Charlotte, which looks to avoid a franchise-record 14th consecutive road loss in its final game away from home Friday night.

The Pistons (27-52) will take part in their fourth consecutive draft lottery, and it's been widely rumored coach Lawrence Frank is on the hot seat. They're not throwing in the towel just yet though, having won back-to-back games for the first time since Feb. 8-9 after defeating Chicago 99-85 on Sunday and Cleveland 111-104 on Wednesday.

Andre Drummond scored a career-high 29 points and added 11 rebounds, while Greg Monroe finished with 23 points against the Cavaliers.

"These are the guys we're building around, and we've got to fight for them," said Frank, whose team's only winning streak of at least three games was a four-game run Dec. 28-Jan. 4. "I have confidence in them."

Drummond, a 36.5 percent free-throw shooter, went 9 of 17 from the line as Cleveland intentionally fouled him.

"I knew I needed to make them for us to win, so I just focused at the line," Drummond said. "It gave me a chance to work on my free throws."

Detroit has been working through plenty of struggles during a season that includes a 10-game losing streak. That skid came to an end with a 92-91 win March 23 over Charlotte (18-60), which owns the NBA's worst record.

The Bobcats have scored fewer than 80 points twice during a three-game losing streak, including 94-75 at Memphis on Tuesday.

There's also been rumors first-year coach Mike Dunlap could be let go due to a lack of progress after the team set a record for the lowest winning percentage in league history (.106) during the 2011-12 lockout-shortened season.

Kemba Walker scored a team-high 19 points Tuesday for Charlotte, which is shooting 39.2 percent over its last four games and is simply hoping to finish the season on a high note.

"I just like the fact our guys are holding onto the rope and playing a good brand of basketball," Dunlap said. "We just have to do a good job of coming down the back stretch and that's kind of been the issue all along. But a lot of credit goes to the guys in the locker room coming in and playing this brand of basketball."

Charlotte, averaging 87.5 points and shooting 41.4 percent during the 13-game road skid, finishes with three home games. It must split its last four to avoid winning fewer than 20 games in a full 82-game season for the first time since it went 18-64 in its inaugural campaign of 2004-05.

The Bobcats are 6-34 on the road, but they posted a 108-101 overtime victory at Detroit on Jan. 6 as Walker scored 20 points and Bismack Biyombo added a career-high 17 rebounds.

Since that victory, Charlotte has gone 0-23 on the road versus teams other than Orlando.

Pistons rout Bobcats 113-93 for 3rd straight win

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Jonas Jerebko helped turn the game around in the second quarter, and Will Bynum took over in the fourth.

Those two backups - call them role players if you must - gave the Detroit Pistons quite a lift.

"Especially when you're a young player, that word `role' sometimes can be a curse word," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "When you're a young player, many times you want to do more and more. Not that you're not capable of doing more, it just comes down to doing what's in the best interests of the team."

The 26-year-old Jerebko scored 17 of his 21 points in the second quarter, and Bynum finished with 15 points and 10 assists, leading Detroit to a 113-93 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night.

Detroit went 12 of 18 from 3-point range, with Brandon Knight making all three of his attempts.

Knight scored 19 points. Kemba Walker scored 24 in the first half for the Bobcats but finished with only 28.

Detroit rookie Andre Drummond had 15 points and nine rebounds but sprained his right ankle late in the game. The Pistons said he was day-to-day, and Drummond said afterward he'd be fine.

Detroit has won three in a row for only the second time all season. The Pistons had a four-game winning streak snapped by Charlotte in January.

Either the Bobcats (18-61) or the Orlando Magic (20-59) will finish with the NBA's worst record this season, and although Walker's impressive first half kept Charlotte in the game for a while, the Pistons pulled away in the third quarter.

"It's an inch-by-inch process where you have an amalgamation of veterans and young guys," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. "It's never going to be a fast thing - you have to take your lumps while you turn it around."

Detroit led 59-53 at the half, and Kyle Singler made a couple 3-pointers early in the third to help the Pistons take a 70-57 lead.

Charlotte scored four points on one possession later in the period thanks to technical fouls on Detroit's Greg Monroe and Rodney Stuckey. That made it 75-68, but the Pistons finished the quarter on a 12-5 run, and Khris Middleton started the fourth with a 3-pointer for a 90-73 lead.

It was 100-79 after Bynum strolled to the basket for an absurdly easy layup. The backup guard scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, although Detroit really turned the tide in the second, when the Pistons outscored Charlotte 36-23.

"Distribute the basketball, get out in transition, get some baskets - and defensively, we needed to get stops," Bynum said. "We tried to do that in the second quarter."

Jerebko barely played for a two-month stretch beginning in late November, but he's been getting more minutes these last few weeks, and he made the most of them Friday. Jerebko went 7 for 7 in the second quarter, including a couple 3s.

"He's comfortable," Bynum said. "He knows he's getting minutes, the opportunity is there, and he's just being aggressive."

Drummond, a promising rookie who has already missed significant time with back problems, left after rolling his ankle under the basket. He stayed down for a while and appeared to be in plenty of pain, but he was able to walk off the court slowly with 5:30 to go.

NOTES: Pistons G Jose Calderon (strained right triceps) missed his third straight game, and Charlotte G Ramon Sessions (sprained left knee) has been out since early March. ... Detroit went 12 of 16 from 3-point range on Nov. 28 against Phoenix. That's the best 3-point percentage (75) of any team this season on at least 12 attempts, according to STATS.

Notebook: Pistons 113, Bobcats 93

Dana Gauruder, for NBA.com
Posted Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:51 PM - Updated Sat Apr 13, 2013 12:42 AM

THE FACTS: Jonas Jerebko came off the bench and matched his season high with 21 points as the Detroit Pistons stretched their winning streak to three games and handed the Charlotte Bobcats their fourth straight loss 113-93 at The Palace of Auburn Hills on Friday. Brandon Knight had 19 points and seven rebounds and Will Bynum contributed 15 points and 10 assists. Rookie center Andre Drummond, coming off a career-high 29-point performance at Cleveland on Wednesday, added 15 points and nine rebounds before spraining his right ankle with 5:30 remaining. Kemba Walker led Charlotte with 28 points and six assists.

QUOTABLE: "It feels great we're winning these games down the stretch of the season. We're looking real good. We're starting to play with some poise and it's a good sign of what's going to be next year. We're just using this as a stepping stone. Obviously, we're not going to play in the playoffs, so we've just got to continue to get better."
-- Drummond on Detroit's winning streak.

THE STAT: 30. The Pistons continued their drive for 30 wins by outscoring the Bobcats by 30 in the paint, 58-28. The penetration of the Detroit guards and the ability of Drummond, Greg Monroe and Jerebko to get into the lane was the decisive factor. Charlotte, which relies on transition points, didn't score in the lane during the second quarter. It was outscored 36-23 that quarter, including a 16-0 difference in points in the paint.

TURNING POINT: Led by Jerebko, the second unit carried the Pistons to the lead in the second after the Bobcats led by 10 earlier in the quarter. Jerebko made all seven of his shots, including a 3-pointer in the closing seconds. Bynum had four points and four assists, Charlie Villanueva made two 3-pointers and Khris Middleton had four points and four assists as the bench outscored the Bobcats reserves 31-5 in the quarter.

QUOTABLE II: "He puts a presence on the offensive boards. It's like there's a piece of meat on the tip of the rim and he's going after that sucker like a hound dog that hasn't been fed for seven days."
-- Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap on Drummond, who is averaging 2.8 offensive rebounds per game. Drummond had five offensive rebounds on Friday.

HOT: Jerebko, who lost his rotation spot early in the season and didn't get it back until late February, has been making up for lost time. He has reached the 15-point mark in five of the last eight games. His point total on Friday was one shy of his career high and his eight rebounds were one below his season best. He appears to be solidly in the team's plans again next season.

NOT: Walker was red-hot in the first half, scoring 24 points, and seemed on his way to besting his career high of 35. But the combination of Knight, Rodney Stuckey and Bynum made him disappear in the second half, as he shot 1 for 8 from the field and committed three of his five turnovers.

ROOKIE WATCH: Drummond was optimistic that he could play Detroit's last two games. He was injured when he rolled up on Bismack Biyombo's foot. The Pistons strong contributions from two other rookies, as Kyle Singler had 10 points and six rebounds and Middleton chipped in nine points, three rebounds and four assists. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had a relatively quiet game for the Bobcats with seven points, seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes.

NOTABLE: The Pistons' streak is their second longest of the season. They had a four-game win streak in late December and early January. ... Charlotte has lost a franchise record 14 straight road games. ... Pistons point guard Jose Calderon missed his third consecutive game with a strained right triceps. ... The Bobcats had 24 turnovers and the Pistons turned those into 29 points. Detroit had 22 turnovers of its own, which Charlotte converted into 18 points. ... Detroit has won eight of the last nine meetings, with Charlotte's lone victory being a 108-101 overtime triumph at The Palace on Jan. 6. ... Charlotte guard Gerald Henderson, who scored 15 points, has a streak of 21 consecutive double-figure games, the longest of his career.
