64. 89. 142. Final. 106

PG. Pistons. REGGIE JACKSON. B. Jackson missed his first eight shots. <a href=

A. Caldwell-Pope came up huge, scoring 26 points and making 6-of-13 3-pointers. He scored key points and spaced the floor to help others. And for good measure, he played strong defense, getting a couple steals.. SG. Pistons. KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE

A+. Drummond (18 points on 8-of-11 shooting with 16 rebounds) attacked the glass and rim, <a href=. C. Pistons. ANDRE DRUMMOND

B+. Monroe (15 points on 6-of-16 shooting with 15 rebounds) wasn’t quite as dominant on either end, but he certainly contributed in a meaningful and positive way.. PF. Pistons. GREG MONROE

Pistons. CARON BUTLER. C. Butler (seven points on 1-of-3 shooting) was much less involved than <a href=. SF

D. Dinwiddie missed all six of his shots, and though he had seven assists to follow <a href=. PG. Pistons. SPENCER DINWIDDIE

A. Tolliver just makes this look easy – 13 points on five shots, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He’s a scoring machine.. PF. Pistons. ANTHONY TOLLIVER

Martin played quality defense, and that’s a reason the Pistons turned an 11-point deficit into a 17-point lead. But he also missed all three of his shots, each of which were open. He’ll have trouble making a rotation case once Tayshaun Prince is available if he can’t make shots.. SF. Pistons. CARTIER MARTIN. C

C+. Meeks shot 2-of-7, but both those makes were from beyond the arc. His style his conducive to efficiency, even when his play is not.. SG. Pistons. JODIE MEEKS

Pistons. STAN VAN GUNDY. A. Van Gundy has players that believe in him. They didn’t buckle when they fell behind double digits in the first half. They just kept playing hard – and increasingly smarter. The last two wins were really something, impressive showings against quality teams while short-handed. Van Gundy is taking the Pistons in the right direction, and they’re reaping the rewards. Detroit is just a half game out of playoff position and could be in the East’s top eight by tomorrow night.. Head Coach
