The Detroit Pistons keep winning and Brandon Jennings hot hand has been a big part. Vancouver Canucks Jerseys .Detroit has picked up victories in 10 of their last 12 games and Jennings has averaged 21.6 points in that run. Friday night, he scored a season-high 37 points to lead Detroit to a 98-96 road win against the struggling Indiana Pacers.If I see couple shots falling, everyone knows Im going to keep shooting, Jennings said. I was able to get into a rhythm and also find guys, so everything kind of worked out.Jennings made eight 3-pointers to tie his career high, but it was his missed layup that set up the win.With 23.9 seconds left and the score tied, Detroit (15-25) called a timeout. Jennings took the inbounds pass and held for the last shot. He drove to the bucket but missed. Andre Drummond was there for the tip-in with 0.3 seconds to go.We set it up for Brandon to get to his left hand and for me to really set myself up for an opportunity to tip the ball, Drummond said. Brandon did a good job of dragging Roy Hibbert out to try to block the shot. (Jennings) told me he was going to shoot it high so I put myself in the right position to get my hands on it.Drummond finished with a 16-point, 16-rebound night.The 6-foot-11 centre had struggled of late scoring just 7.2 points in the last five games, which led to a talk with Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy.I dont think my talk had anything to do with it, Van Gundy said. We talked, we showed (him) some things (on film). I had nothing to do with it.With Drummond and Greg Monroe, who finished with 11 points, finding success in the paint, Jennings took advantage of shooting opportunities. That was especially true in the pivotal third quarter, when he scored 19 of Detroits 30 points to give the Pistons a 79-76 lead heading to the final period.With just under six minutes to play in the third, Drummond converted the old-fashion 3-point play to start a 10-0 run that drew Detroit even with Indiana at 68. Jennings scored the other seven.It was the second consecutive game that the Pacers opposing point guard had season-best games. On Tuesday, Minnesotas Mo Williams scored 52.We played against some tough point guards, Hibbert said. Me, myself, has to do a better job of containing the guards and not letting a guy like Jennings get off.The centre led Indiana (15-26) with 14 points and had the opportunity to score the go-ahead bucket, but was called for the offensive foul to set up Detroit to have the ball with the shot clock turned off.Games have been like that for us lately, but were learning how to close them out, Jennings said. Were learning how to get stops at the end and were learning how to convert.TIP-INSPistons: Has won seven straight road games to tie the franchise record. ...They have won consecutive games over the Pacers for the first time since they won eight straight from January 2007-December 2008.Pacers: Despite losing four of five, bench play continues to be a positive. With 50 points, the Pacers reserves have scored 30 or more points in 36 of the teams 41 games.UP NEXTPistons host Philadelphia on SaturdayPacers visit Charlotte on Saturday Brendan Gaunce Jersey .com) - Fair Grounds commences its road to the Kentucky Derby Saturday with the 71st running of the $200,000 Lecomte Stakes. Jacob Markstrom Jersey .Y. -- Nothing seems to phase No. http://www.authentichockeyshopcanucks.com/Trevor-Linden-Jersey/ . PAUL, Minn.TORONTO -- To prepare his players for the biggest game of their lives, Raptors coach Dwane Casey borrowed from the 2011 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks. "I go back to my experience. (Mavericks coach) Rick Carlisle has a thing, Wipe off the blackboard. Just wipe it off," said Casey, an assistant under Carlisle on that 2011 Mavs squad. "Nothing on the blackboard is really going to make a difference at this time of year. At this game, Game 7, its mental." The Raptors host the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday in a game that will either advance them into the second round of the post-season for just the second time in the franchises 19-year history, or send them home. Sundays winner faces the two-time NBA defending champion Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals beginning Tuesday in Miami. By wiping the blackboard, Casey trusts the Raptors that have scraped and clawed to so many huge wins in this unexpected season of success wont go down without a fight Sunday. The coach likens his team to Freddie Krueger -- the unkillable villain from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movies and a name Casey has mentioned after virtually every unlikely victory this season. "Its our approach," Casey said Saturday. "Its our toughness. Its our persistence on getting open. Our persistence in defending. Our persistence in going for loose balls, rebounds. Thats what this game is going to be about." Casey had the Raptors at the Air Canada Centre for a long session Saturday, the morning after a woeful 97-83 loss to the Nets in Game 6 at Brooklyn. In a series that has been feisty since before the first ball was even thrown up, Nets centre Andray Blatche fired the latest shot Saturday night. "We guarantee were going to go there and take care of business and go to Miami," Blatche told reporters at Barclays Center. The Raptors shrugged off the comment. "I dont care what he said," said Raptors all-star DeMar DeRozan. "He can say what he wants, honestly. He can go out there and say hes going to hit the lottery tomorrow, I could give a hell." Raptors backup guard Greivis Vasquez added: "I dont know who does he think he is. Hes not KG (Kevin Garnett) or Paul Pierce or Jason Kidd. Were not going to listen to his nonsense. Hes gotta earn that, and he hasnt yet." Vasquez said the Raptors are focused only on themselves, and with good reason.
