Detroit Pistons News And Notes

--Detroit's bench produced 68 points against Charlotte Sunday, its highest output since 2008 and its fourth highest in the last 25 seasons. The Pistons had 71 bench points on April 17, 2006 against Miami and April 16, 2008 against Cleveland. They got 69 bench points against Philadelphia on Dec. 20, 1997.

--The Pistons snapped their 11-game road losing streak and improved their road record to 8-32 Sunday. Their last road victory had been Feb. 9 at Cleveland. The toad skid was their longest since they lost 11 at the end of the 1994-95 season, which eventually stretched to 17 when they dropped their first six road games in 1995-96.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We were just trying to come in and change the game. They were up by 15 at the end of the first quarter. We let them score too many points. The second unit just tried to go in there and provide the team with a spark." -- Forward Charlie Villanueva, after Detroit's bench scored 68 points Sunday.
