The host Detroit Pistons defeated the league - best Los Angeles Clippers, 108 - 97, on Friday night. Detroit (8 - 9) has been nearly unstoppable at home this season, advancing to 7 - 2 in Michigan with Friday's win. Strong shooting helped bolster the team's performance, as the Pistons shot over 52 percent from the field. Every starter recorded at least 15 points in what was a well - rounded team performance for the group. While league - best rebounder Andre Drummond dipped below his season average and posted just 10 rebounds, the team held a sizable 42 - 32 advantage on the glass. Drummond was a force inside, scoring 16 points and shooting 8 - of - 11 from the field. Los Angeles (14 - 3) had not lost on the road prior to Friday's game. The Clippers saw their offense slow due to a rare off night from point guard Chris Paul, who dished out 15 assists but shot just 2 - of - 9 for eight points. Guard Jamal Crawford, generally an integral spark plug for the Clippers, shot just 4 - of - 12. Guard J.J. Redick and forward Blake Griffin led the team with 24 points each, though Griffin recorded just three rebounds. Double-double machine DeAndre Jordan recorded just nine rebounds, contributing heavily to LA's deficit on the glass. The Clippers will face the Pacers on Sunday, while Detroit will have a weekend of rest.
