The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs are perennial NBA title contenders,
but only one has played like it in the last few games.

The Pistons try to match their longest winning streak of the season when they host the Spurs in the final contest for both teams before the All-Star break.

Detroit (32-18) is holding opponents to 85.6 points per game during its current run of seven consecutive wins. On Monday, the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons allowed their lowest opponent field goal percentage of the season, holding the Los Angeles Clippers to 32.4 percent shooting en route to a 92-74 victory.
