A close one at the break quickly turned into "Running with the Pistons" in the 3rd frame. Detroit Basketball wasted no time as thy get big numbers from the starters and top reserve Rodney "Stuck" Stuckey. The Nugs again played tough through the first half only to bail in the 3rd frame and dig themselves a hole all too familiar in the 2013-14 season.

Pistons Lead Guard Brandon Jennings had a game-high 35 points as he also waited on twelve Pistons Tables and that is the Jennings current Pistons VP of Basketball Ops Joe Dumars traded for in the Summer of 2k13. Josh Smith another one of the Pistons big Summer 2k13 Catches added 30 points, grabbed ten boards, and waited on eight tables.  Throw in Andre Drummond's 18 points and fifteen assists with Stuck's 19 and Monroe's 14 the Pistons rolled to a 126-109 "W". The Pistons shot above 50% and had only ten turnovers.

The visiting Nugs had a +21 advantage from the Arc but poor FT Shooting with 20 turnovers was not going to get it done. Randy Foye led the Nugs with 25 points while JJ Hickson added 15 points and sixteen boards. Wilson Chandler chipped in with 20 including six Money Balls as he has been clearly with Foye and Hickson the top 3 most consistent Nugs game to game.

The Pistons 21-29 in the East still have  shot at Wining Time. The Nugs at 24-25 can't seem to get over that .500 Hump and get some separation.
