WATCH: Griffin, Drummond help Pistons pull away from Wizards 106-95
DETROIT (AP) - There's no trophy for beating a slumping team like the Washington Wizards in late December.

After losing nine of 11, the Pistons went on a 23-2 run to start the second half and held on to beat Washington 106-95.

Williams' 7 3-pointers lift Hornets past Pistons 98-86
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - When asked about the last time he made seven 3-pointers in a game, Marvin Williams paused for several seconds and then finally responded, "High school?"

Lamb's jumper helps Hornets beat Pistons 108-107 in wild win
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Hornets celebrated too soon and then weren't sure if they'd be celebrating at all. Meanwhile, team owner Michael Jordan chewed out one of his own players. Jeremy Lamb's first NBA buzzer-beater was no ordinary game-winning shot.
