(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics enter Wednesdays showdown at TD Garden with a combined 14 straight losses. The Pistons have lost nine in a row and the Celtics are winless in the past five games. Detroit lost all four games on its recent homestand and was handed a 106-96 defeat by Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Bryant had 10 turnovers and 12 points for Los Angeles, which had a 35-20 scoring advantage in the third quarter. Josh Smith paced the Pistons with 18 points and 10 rebounds, D.J. Augustin scored 13 points off the bench and Andre Drummond pulled down 13 rebounds. Greg Monroe had 10 boards for the Pistons, who havent won since Nov. 14 at Oklahoma City. We have enough talent to win games, but we dont have enough talent to overcome lack of effort, said Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy. Detroit will try to stop a three-game road losing streak and is only 1-7 away from The Palace this season. After visiting the Celtics, the Pistons will start a three-game homestand versus Philadelphia, Oklahoma City and Portland. The Celtics are back home for three straight games versus Detroit, the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington. They suffered a 109-105 loss in Atlanta on Tuesday, as Jeff Green led the way with 25 points and Jared Sullinger finished with 22. Avery Bradley scored 18 points and Rajon Rondo collected two points, 19 assists and 12 rebounds for Boston. Boston shot 48.8 percent and hit on 12-of-23 3-pointers, but turned the ball over 23 times for 28 Atlanta points. They were the aggressor. They were more physical, Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said. The game honors the more physical team, time and time again. The Celtics are 2-7 at home and winless in six straight at TD Garden. Detroit took three of four meetings with Boston last season and has won seven of the past nine games in this series. Jack Johnson Jersey .

Kyle Palmieri Team USA Hockey Jersey . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency.DENVER -- Al Jefferson is pulling away in a big way from a slow, painful start to his season. Jefferson matched a season high with 35 points, including a key basket in the final seconds, and the Charlotte Bobcats hung on to beat the Denver Nuggets 101-98 on Wednesday night. It was the 10th consecutive game in which Jefferson has scored at least 20 points, an offensive flurry reflecting his improved health since missing nine of the Bobcats first 12 games this season because of a sprained right ankle. "It is all about staying healthy," Jefferson said. "I am 85 or 90 per cent right now. If I were 100 per cent, I could be very effective. I am working hard to get to 100 per cent." Jefferson looked awfully close to that in a game in which he also had 11 rebounds for his 14th double-double in his last 22 games. "He is scoring and then we are also scoring off him. His effect on his teammates is good," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. Gerald Henderson and Ramon Sessions each added 16 points for the Bobcats who beat the Nuggets in Denver for only the second time in eight games here. Randy Foye scored a season-high 33 points to lead Denver, which was without leading scorer Ty Lawson (left shoulder). His replacement, Nate Robinson, was knocked out of the game in the first quarter with a left knee sprain, forcing Foye into the unfamiliar role of running the point. "Nate and Ty, they push the ball and do so many different things," Foye said. "I just tried to mimic some of the things that Ty does, just being aggressive, taking it to the basket and trying to make plays for everybody, picking my spots where I needed to score. "But we fouled a lot. We gave them the game. We got stops. They got offensive rebounds and we fouled them. We made some bonehead plays fouling them and just putting them on the free throw line. But well figure this out. Theres no quit in this team." Robinson was hurt in a spill underneath the Nuggets basket. He got up gingerly and continued playing but was forced to leave the game a short time later. He did not return and the Nuggets said Robinson was scheduled to undergo an MRI scan on Thursday to further evaluate the injuryy, which the team initially described as a sprain.dddddddddddd Evan Fournier added 19 points for the Nuggets and Timofey Mozgov had 15. Up by one at the break, the Bobcats pulled into a 75-all tie heading into the fourth period on a pair of free throws by Sessions, helping to offset a 3-pointer by Fournier moments earlier. Jeffersons 6-foot jumper evened the score again, at 82-all, but Fournier connected on a jumper and, after a turnover by the Bobcats, Foye drained a 3-pointer to give the Nuggets a five-point edge with 6:38 remaining. Foyes long jumper produced a final tie at 95-95 with 1:08 left. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist made one of two free throws and, after Wilson Chandler missed a contested reverse layup, Jefferson sank a jumper for a 98-95 lead with 23.1 seconds remaining. Darrell Arthur made a 3-pointer with 10.7 seconds left to pull the Nuggets within 99-98, but after Henderson was fouled and made one of two free throws with 9 seconds remaining, the Bobcats defence turned away shots from up close by Fournier and Mozgov to help the Bobcats hang on. "It was a weird play at the end," Jefferson said. "The rebound (off Fourniers miss) got deflected in some kind of way. Mozgov got the ball and had a clean shot at a layup, but MKG (Kidd-Gilchrist) made a heck of a job to block it." Added Henderson: "Those are plays that win games." Leading by as many as 14 points early on, the Bobcats settled for a 53-52 halftime lead as the Nuggets outscored Charlotte 31-21 in the second quarter. Jefferson converted a three-point play to give Charlotte a 43-31 advantage with 5:47 remaining in the second, but Denver closed the period on a 21-10 run capped by Arthurs 20-jumper an instant before the first-half buzzer. NOTES: The Bobcats Ben Gordon missed the game because of illness. ... The Nuggets and Bobcats meet one more time this season on March 10 in Charlotte. ... Kemba Walker missed his fifth game for the Bobcats since spraining his left ankle Jan. 18 against Miami. The Bobcats are 3-2 in that span. ...
