At the sports desk: Detroit Pistons

They got a big win last night over Cleveland, which came in with an 8 game winning streak.
The addition of Allen Iverson's offensive punch, and Pistons defense, which has the potential to remain strong, were keys--as Cleveland media admitted:

"Faced with some pressure and adversity, the Cavs did not respond as they did often during their winning streak. It was especially evident at the offense end, where their recent potent attack withered when the Pistons took them out of their comfort zone."

Read the whole thing. Obviously Iverson has had issues in the past.
But Pistons fans so far should be pleased with how hard he's worked to fit in, and with how badly he apparently wants to win a championship.
