Pistons turn focus to home

[645]

AUBURN HILLS -- Normally, a team would be excited about facing its longest home stand of a season, especially knowing the All-Star break is at the back end.

But the Pistons have to feel at least a little anxious about playing their next five games at The Palace. Their 13-9 home record is a far cry from last season's 37-4 mark.

"This is an opportunity to get in a rhythm, playing every other day, no back-to-backs," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "I think we have picked up some momentum over this past week, and this is a great opportunity to build on that."
