The Detroit Pistons moved to 11-2 in their last 13 with a stifling defensive effort against Memphis Friday night, 92-67. The Pistons had five players in double figures, led by Tayshaun Prince with 16 points. Detroit rookie Arron Afflalo, who took some locker-room ribbing but had 12 points, said "I feel like I'm learning more every day," reports AP. Elsewhere:

Michael Jordan practiced with Charlotte the other day and apparently that was enough as the Bobcats beat the Knicks by 10 tonight.
There haven't been many surprises so far for the Minnesota Timberwolves other than tonight's 131-118 victory over the Pacers. Al Jefferson and Sebastian Telfair combined for 59 points. Mike Dunleavy dropped in 30 for Indiana.
