Pistons shooting went flat in Jersey

Anthony Morrow on a strict minutes count in his first game since mid-December.

Nothing was going to change that, until Morrow found his shooting touch.

Morrow scored all 10 of the points during a key second-half run to lead the Nets to an 89-74 victory over the Detroit Pistons.

Tayshaun Prince had 16 points for Detroit, which was limited to 14 points on 3-of-15 shooting in the final quarter.


Brook Lopez had 15 points, Devin Harris added 12 and nine assists, and Humphries had 11 points and 12 rebounds in helping New Jersey win its second straight game since owner Mikhail Prokhorov ordered the team to end its trade talks with Denver and Detroit on a megadeal that would have landed Carmelo Anthony in New Jersey.

Veteran guard Richard Hamilton was supposed to come to New Jersey as part of the big deal. However, he did not play for a sixth straight game because he has fallen out of coach John Kuester’s rotation.
