Nets-Pistons Preview 2-10-12
(AP) -- The Detroit Pistons seem to be in good position to continue their best stretch of the season.
The Pistons have posted three straight wins - one shy of their victory total through the first 24 games - and will be looking to extend their home win streak over the New Jersey Nets to 10 games Friday night.
Detroit (7-20) is finishing a home-and-home set with New Jersey (8-19) after shooting a season-high 53.4 percent to win 99-92 on the road Wednesday. Greg Monroe recorded his third straight double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
"We have to keep this hunger," said Monroe, averaging 20.7 points and 13.0 boards during the three-game win streak. "We have to continue to play and give these efforts so the wins will come more often. But we have to continue to play like this."
The Nets beat the visiting Pistons 99-96 the previous Wednesday, but have since lost four straight.
