At the sports desk: favorite teams update

The Detroit Pistons edge the LA Clippers, 88-87 yesterday on the road.
It's the Pistons' 7th straight win. Perhaps the most valuable Piston--Tayshaun Prince, whose great defense helped stop the Clippers' Eric Gordon cold on the final possession.

And Michigan's men's hoops team showed good bounce-back ability and toughness, beating a good Illinois team 74-64 on Michigan's home floor yesterday. This coming Wednesday, Michigan plays Indiana on the road; IU is down this year--that's a game Michigan's got to have.
