Pistons

The Detroit Pistons beat San Antonio 109-100.  Detroit led by 11 at halftime, by 20 after three quarters, but had to hang on for the win.  It was the first Piston win for John Loyer, who replaced the fired Maurice Cheeks as interim head coach on Sunday.  Brandon Jennings led six players in double-figures with 21 points.  Rodney Stuckey scored 20 points and Greg Monroe posted 15 points and 10 rebounds, and  Andre Drummond donated 14 points and nine boards in the victory.  The Pistons have won three in-a-row now for the first time since early December.  They host Cleveland tomorrow night.

Olympics

A pair of medals today for the U.S. at the Winter Olympics. The first came in women's slopestyle skiing as Devin Logan took the silver. The second was a bronze by Erin Hamlin in women's singles luge. Hamlin's medal is the first-ever for an American male or female in singles luge. The U.S. ended the day with seven medals, two gold, a silver and four bronze.  There's won't be a gold or any medal for that matter for Shaun White in halfpipe. The two-time defending champ fell during his first run of the final and wound up in fourth place. His second round was excellent but it wasn't enough to overcome the bad   Norway now has 11 medals and Canada has 9.  The Netherlands have 8.  Russia and the U.S. have 7.

The U.S. women's curling team is still looking for a win at the Sochi Games. Team USA suffered a 9-6 loss in this morning's session to host nation Russia and fell to 0-and-2 in the tournament.
