(Sports Network) - The Detroit Pistons try to get back on the winning track, as they visit the Los Angeles Clippers tonight at the Staples Center.
This is the second and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On November 9th, Chauncey Billups finished with 23 points and five assists to lead the Pistons over the Clippers, 103-79, at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Pistons have won 10 in a row in the series. The last time the Clippers defeated the Pistons was on November 3, 2002 in Los Angeles.
Detroit has won four straight after losing its last three at the Clippers.
The Pistons conclude a four-game road trip. They are 2-1 on the swing. Mehmet Okur scored 24 points -- including three clutch three-pointers late in regulation -- and pulled down seven rebounds as the Utah Jazz stormed back to edge Detroit, 103-95, on Wednesday at EnergySolutions Arena.
Richard Hamilton scored 22 points, and Billups netted 21 for the Pistons, who had a three-game winning streak halted. Tayshaun Prince had 13 points and six rebounds, while Rasheed Wallace finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, but made only 2-of-12 shots from the field.
Billups (personal) is doubtful for tonight's contest.
Detroit is 20-11 on the road this season. The Pistons return home to host rookie phenom Kevin Durant and the Seattle SuperSonics on Tuesday at The Palace.
The Clippers have lost four in a row, and open a three-game homestand against Detroit. On Friday, Allen Iverson scored 38 points and had six assists, and keyed the Denver Nuggets' eight-point run to end a 110-104 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rookie Al Thornton came off the bench to tie a career-high 33 points and also grabbed 12 rebounds for the Clippers, while Corey Maggette scored 28 in defeat. Brevin Knight finished with nine points and 12 assists.
Los Angeles is 11-19 as the host this season. The Clippers will play Philadelphia on Monday and Sacramento on Wednesday at the Staples Center.
