NEW YORK (AP) --- Jalen Duren scored 26 points, Cade Cunningham had 21 points
and 15 assists, and the Detroit Pistons snapped a season-worst four-game skid,
beating the Brooklyn Nets 138-100 on Tuesday night.
Duren shot 9 of 10 from the field and Cunningham was 8 of 10, including 4 of 5
from 3-point range. Duncan Robinson added 15 points and Marcus Sasser finished
with 14 for the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons, who never trailed.
Michael Porter Jr. had 19 points and Jalen Wilson added 14 for the Nets, who
saw their two-game winning streak end.
Part of Detroit's skid was an improbable loss to visiting Brooklyn on Saturday
night in a game it led by 23 points midway through the third quarter. The Nets
ended a 10-game skid with that victory.
Cunningham --- who did not play in that game --- and Duren combined for 21
first-quarter points as the Pistons shot 57% from the field and 45% from beyond
the arc for a 38-27 advantage.
The Pistons then outscored the Nets 35-13 in the second quarter for a 73-40
halftime lead.
Detroit finished the game shooting 56% from the field and 50% (16 of 32) from
3-point range.
