Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
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.
Trevor Ariza paced the Hornets attack with 26 points and Greivis Vasquez added
14 points and nine assists as the Hornets dropped their sixth straight road
game. New Orleans has now lost 14 of its last 15 contests.
Detroit looked as though it would pull away in the fourth, ripping off 10
straight points to take a 75-65 lead, but Vasquez came up with seven straight
for the Hornets to pull them back within three, 75-72, with 5:49 left in the
game. Al-Farouq Aminu's two free throws made it a one-point margin.
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 calmly stepped to the line and knocked down both free throws to put the
game on ice for the Pistons.
The first quarter ended with a Jerebko layup to give Detroit a 25-23 lead.
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.
