Pistons-Bobcats Preview

Struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings for most of the season, neither the Charlotte Bobcats nor the Detroit Pistons would seem to have much left to play for.

Still, Charlotte has shown signs of improvements of late, while Detroit is stuck in a season-high 10-game skid.

The Bobcats will try to win a third straight game for the second time on Saturday night while the Pistons look to snap their losing streak before it matches their longest in three years.

Charlotte's 16-52 record is still the worst in the NBA but it has won consecutive games for the first time since November. The team's offense, averaging 93.3 points per game, has looked much better in the back-to-back victories, scoring 107 and 119 points against Toronto and Washington, respectively.

The Bobcats have also cut down significantly on turnovers in their last 10 games, averaging 11.7 compared to 14.1 in the first 58 contests.

"We're going back to the way we were playing at the beginning of the season," said Byron Mullens, who has 27 points over the last two games on 5-of-10 3-point shooting. "I don't want to get way over the top with this because it's just two wins. But we'll take it for what it is. It's been a while since we've had that so I'm going to enjoy it."

Gerald Henderson continues to come into his own of late with 22.7 points per game on 50.0 percent shooting over his last seven. Henderson, who scored 21 on 8-of-14 shooting, along with seven rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win over the Raptors, averaged 13.2 points while shooting 42.9 percent in his first 47 games.

An 11th consecutive loss for the Pistons (23-47) would be their longest since dropping 11 in a row from March 13-April 3, 2010. Despite the skid continuing with a 103-89 loss at Miami on Friday, there were signs of encouragement.

Detroit, which is losing by an average of 17.2 points during the slide, actually at one point threatened the Heat's now 25-game winning streak, leading for the majority of the first three quarters.

But coach Lawrence Frank wants to see him team play with motivation on a night it's not up against one of the league's elite teams.

"Now, we've got a quick turnaround," Frank told the team's official website. "And we've got to be ready. We have our own streak going. Bottom line for us is to compete every single night. You can't just do it in Miami. You've got to do it every night. That's the price of admission in the NBA."

The Pistons could be soon closer to full strength. Brandon Knight (ankle) has missed four games in a row but could return Saturday. Andre Drummond has missed the last 20 games with a fractured tailbone but took part in Friday's shootaround and continues to near his return as well.

Detroit has won six of the last seven meetings and four straight in Charlotte, including a 105-99 victory on Feb. 20 as Knight scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

Greg Monroe is averaging 19.3 points and 11.7 rebounds while shooting 56.8 percent in his last six games against the Bobcats.

Pistons beat Bobcats 92-91 to snap losing streak

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Charlie Villanueva felt like the weight of the world was on the Detroit Pistons as they flew into Charlotte, N.C., for Saturday night's game.

A 10-game losing streak will do that to an NBA team.

Villanueva made sure the Pistons could breathe a sigh of relief Saturday night, scoring 14 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter - including a go-ahead driving layup with 15 seconds left - to help Detroit defeat the Charlotte Bobcats 92-91 to avoid matching its longest losing streak in three years.

"It felt really good to get a win after that losing streak we were on," Villanueva said in a jovial Pistons locker room. "We kind of got that monkey off our back. You could see how excited everyone was just to get that win."

Villanueva hit three 3-pointers in the final period, Jason Maxiell added 14 points and reserve Rodney Stuckey had 13 points and eight assists for the Pistons.

Kemba Walker had 25 points and Bismack Biyombo had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who had their two-game winning streak snapped. Gerald Henderson, who came in averaging 22.7 points per game over his past seven, finished with 15 points.

The NBA-worst Bobcats had the ball and a chance to win the game with 14 seconds left but couldn't convert.

The Bobcats led by three coming into fourth quarter, but every time they tried to pull away it seemed Villanueva was there to answer with a long 3-pointer.

The seven-year veteran finally put the Pistons in front at 85-84 on 3-pointer with just over two minutes to play and the teams traded the lead after that.

With the Pistons trailing by one, Villanueva made a backdoor cut and scored on a two-handed jam to give his team a 90-89 lead.

Walker answered with a pair of foul shots at the end other, but Villanueva then made the play of the game. After missing a 3-pointer, Villanueva corralled the rebound and drove the lane to give Detroit a 92-91 lead.

"I was just reading what the defense was giving me," Villanueva said. "They were trying to take the 3-pointer away so I was just driving the basketball. I saw the lane open."

The Bobcats called a timeout but couldn't get an open look off an inbound play.

Walker frantically drove with 4 seconds left and put up an off-balance shot that hit the rim. Josh McRoberts grabbed the loose ball and tried to put in a reverse that didn't drop.

"We grinded and gutted it out," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "When you've lost 10 games you need somebody to give you a spark. And Charlie did that in the fourth quarter. It's nice to get off the schneid. Now we want to continue every night and finish off the season in a professional, competitive way."

Frank was pleased that the Pistons had 31 assists on 36 field goals.

Detroit entered the game having lost its last 10 games by an average margin of 17.2 points per game. But they jumped out to a 9-0 lead behind Brandon Knight, who returned after missing four games with a sprained ankle.

However, they surrendered the momentum almost immediately as the Bobcats answered with a 9-0 run of their own and went on to lead most of the game.

But Charlotte had no answer for Villanueva down the stretch.

"He's tough because he can really shoot the 3," Henderson said of Villanueva. "It's crazy to think you'll lose track of him. But when you're coming back in transition, he just finds his way to the 3-point line.

"Even in the half court, he finds ways to score the ball at the basket. You're always taught to come back in the paint and branch out. He knows that and he kind of moseys back to the line and they find him. That's unusual because big men usually migrate to the paint."

After scoring 117 points against Washington and 109 against Toronto, the Bobcats only managed 92, one below their season average.

NOTES: The Bobcats are expected to sign backup point guard Jannero Pargo to another 10-day contract on Sunday. He had 16 points against the Pistons. "He plays with bravado," Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said. ... The Bobcats were 23 of 25 from the foul line. ... Knight had five turnovers in his first game back from the ankle injury. ... Walker had four steals for the Bobcats.

Notebook: Pistons 92, Bobcats 91

THE FACTS: Charlie Villanueva scored 15 of his team-best 18 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 92-91 come-from-behind victory over the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak for the Pistons. Kemba Walker scored a game-high 25 points for the Bobcats who saw their season-high two-game win streak come to an end.

QUOTABLE: "We needed this just to break the streak. We worked really hard together out there. It's all about confidence for us. Tonight we had that and we were able to get a big stop to end it too."
-- Detroit guard Rodney Stuckey.

THE STAT: The Pistons used the bench to their advantage Saturday night. Detroit got all 23 of its fourth-quarter points from the reserves. For the game, the Pistons bench outscored Charlotte's 45-24. Villanueva had 18 while Stuckey added 13 and also dished out eight assists.

TURNING POINT: Detroit coach Lawrence Frank with the hot hand in the fourth quarter and it proved quite effective. The reserves played more than 60 percent of the fourth quarter minutes to pick up the win. The Pistons took the lead and the win with 15.0 seconds to play off an offensive rebound and assist from Greg Monroe who founds Villanueva for an easy lay-up.

HOT: The Pistons defense set the tone in the fourth quarter. Detroit held Charlotte to just four field goals on 18 attempts (22.2 percent) and held them without a 3-point field goal or assist in the final period. That defense forced five turnovers as well which led to 8 points.

NOT: Byron Mullens really cooled off Saturday night. Mullens averaged 18.5 points for Charlotte on its two-game winning streak, but failed to score against Detroit. It's his second game without a point in his last five outings.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Jannero Pargo has proved a worthwhile signing for the Bobcats. Pargo is averaging 11.2 points over his last five games. He was signed to a 10-day contract on March 14 and the Bobcats plan to sign him to a second 10-day contract Sunday..

ROOKIE WATCH: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 11 points, three rebounds, three blocked shots and two assists for Charlotte. It was just his second double-figure game in the last six games. Jeffery Taylor had three points in 18 minutes with two rebounds and an assist. For the Pistons, Kyle Singler had six points and seven rebounds while Khris Middleton had six points and four rebounds.

NOTABLE: The Bobcats have fewer victories over the last two seasons (23) that its opponent on Sunday than Sunday opponent Miami has won in a row (25). Gerald Henderson scored in double figures for the 11th straight game which is the longest of his career. Bismack Biyombo had his fourth double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Bobcats were 23-of-25 from the free-throw line which was a season high percentage (.920). Brandon Knight had 10 points and scored in double figures for the 45th time this season while Stuckey hit double figures for the 38th time this season. Will Bynum did not play in the second half due to an injured hand. Detroit had 31 assists on 36 made baskets.

UP NEXT: For the Pistons, Tuesday vs. Minnesota, Friday vs. Toronto, Sunday @ Chicago. For the Bobcats, Sunday @ Miami, Wednesday vs. Orlando, Friday at New York.
