The Detroit Pistons will attempt to put the brakes on a seven-game losing streak Tuesday, when they welcome the New York Knicks to The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Pistons will also play host to Chicago on the brief residency and are 8-6 at home this season. They suffered their seventh consecutive defeat on Sunday in a 102-95 decision at Toronto, as Richard Hamilton returned to the lineup from a sore right hamstring and scored 15 points for the Pistons
Ben Gordon netted 15 points off the bench, while Rodney Stuckey had 14 points, eight boards and five assists in a losing cause.
“Early in the game I didn’t feel like I had my legs, but it got better as the game went on,” Gordon said. “We had some decent looks later in the game, but just couldn’t make the shots.”

Todd Bertuzzi broke into a big grin. After 22 fruitless shots over nine games, he finally fired the puck — and saw it sink in behind the goaltender.
Bertuzzi had the puck along the boards Monday when he pulled up and whacked the puck toward the Stars’ net. The puck hit the stick of Dallas defender Trevor Daley and zoomed in past Marty Turco to give Detroit a three-goal lead — and, eventually, a 4-1 victory at Joe Louis Arena.
Was that smile a sign of pure relief?
“To say the least,” Bertuzzi said. “I love to score, and when you’re not scoring, it’s not that much fun. I just shot it on net. I think he thought I was going to make the pass, because I know Turcs really well, and he knows me from playing against me. So I think he thought I was just going to throw it cross-crease. So it caught him short side.”
Bertuzzi’s fourth goal was set up by Pavel Datsyuk, his linemate for the past several weeks — many of them frustrating as the two, along with Tomas Holmstrom, went game after game without producing.
