|
THE Detroit Pistons scored four points in the final 11 seconds against the San Antonio Spurs to rally for an exciting 105-104 victory in the NBA on Tuesday. In the only other game, the Phoenix Suns scored 100 or more points for a ninth straight game in defeating hosts, the Milwaukee Bucks, 102-96. In the final seven seconds in San Antonio, Pistons guard Brandon Jennings took a bad inbounds pass by Tim Duncan and drove the length of the court, weaving through San Antonio's backpedaling defenders, to bank in an 11-foot jumper. The shot lifted Detroit to its sixth straight victory. In Milwaukee, the Suns opened a four-game road trip with their third consecutive victory. They also upped their record to 8-1 over Eastern Conference opponents. They were led by Markieff Morris with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas added 19 and Goran Dragic 16. Brandon Knight scored 26 and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 16 for the Bucks, who lost their fourth straight at home. |
