Flip Saunders says team can't let up just because they're home.
Quote:
The Pistons will be home for the holidays, and you would think they would feel great with five straight games at the Palace.
But, coach Flip Sanders said, "we never feel relieved."
Tuesday night's game against Portland started the five-game home stand, which will come in a 10-day stretch. After Tuesday, the Pistons will have played nine at home and 14 on the road. They're an NBA-best 12-2 on the road.
The marquee matchups will be Christmas Day against defending NBA champion San Antonio and Dec. 29 against Eastern Conference finalist Miami. Golden State plays Friday at the Palace; Toronto plays there Dec. 27.
The game Tuesday was the Pistons' fourth in five days and followed a double-overtime victory Monday at Memphis.
