Red Wings

The Red Wings lost the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 last night in Detroit. Buffalo snapped an eight-game winless streak in Detroit with its first victory there in nine years.  Ryan O'Reilly and Johan Larsson scored 61 seconds apart late in the third period to rally the Sabres against goalie Petr Mrazek.  Detroit had earned at least one point in 13 consecutive games.  Detroit will host Vancouver on Friday.

Pistons

The Pistons lost to the L-A Clippers 105-103 last night at the Palace.  Jamal Crawford hit a 3-pointer with 12.4 seconds left in overtime for the Clippers.   After Crawford's basket, the Clippers fouled Reggie Jackson with 9.3 seconds left. He made the first shot, missed the second, and teammate Andre Drummond got two chances for a tying tip-in, but missed both. Jackson missed a desperation shot at the buzzer.  Jackson finished with 34 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Drummond added 20 points and 15 rebounds. The Pistons have won six of their last nine and will host the Celtics on Wednesday and head to Chicago on Friday.
