The Detroit Pistons recorded their longest winning streak in 17 years on Friday evening. You will try to start a new run in the second game of a back-to-back game.

The pistons had won eight times in a row before the Nuggets Denver received a loss of 134-119. Detroit will complete a home stand with four games against Brooklyn Nets on Saturday evening.

Detroit simply couldn't handle a Powerhouse opponent who precisely carried out his crime. The Nuggets shot 56 percent out of the field and made 17 of 31 3-point attempts (54.8 percent). The piston shot 45.5 percent out of the ground, including 12 out of 37 (32.4 percent) from beyond the arch.

“They really test their discipline. They are really, very unique, ”said Detroit coach JB Bickerstaff about the nuggets. “You are not a typical NBA team. It is great for us to imagine him, see where we make mistakes and then learn and grow from it. “

Denver took control by taking 15 unanswered points in the third quarter.

“I thought we came out and made some shots that we would probably take back and score the best possession,” said Piston's Forward Tobias Harris. “They made shots, some of our covers were out. Give them recognition, they also looked hard. …

“Overall, it is a game from which you can learn. You are an experienced team, a team for championship caliber. “

Detroit All-Star Cade Cunningham will try to withdraw from one of his roughest excursions this season on Saturday. He had recorded 11 points, 3-against-12 shooting and five templates.

“He had a hard night this evening. … he will be better tomorrow, ”said Bickerstaff after the game.

The pistons had not lost since they were led to the league on February 5.

The nets also play the end of a back-to-back. They fell at home in Portland 121-102 on Friday, so that the Trail Blazers could shoot 57.7 percent off the field.

Portland led 64-47 at halftime and the lead never fell under nine points in the second half.

“I have to be better to help them,” said Brooklyn coach Jordi Fernandez. “It is not the first time that we don't appear from the start, then we wake up a little. It's not good enough. This is not the one we want to be. “

The networks that never had a lead lost three in a row. It should be noted positively that Cam Thomas scored 16 points in 21 minutes after the previous 24 games had missed due to a left thigh tribe.

“He was 17 shots in 21 minutes. He became open, he does that. … but I want him to score, play and defend, ”said Fernandez. “We will blame each other to get better. It was great to have him on the pitch, to see great that he could make these shots. And I'm pretty sure that he wants to be better and want to help the team. “

Detroit will try to sweep the three-game season series.

On November 3, the pistons held the nets to 35 points in the second half, while collecting a 106-92 victory in Brooklyn.

On January 8th in Brooklyn, Malik Beasley scored 23 points in a 113-98 victory in Detroit. The networks were rotated to 38.4 percent and their reserves were exceeded by the Piston's bank 50-22.
