Pistons trying to break out of funk

Feb 22, 2008 - 1:59 PM Milwaukee (20-34) at Detroit (39-15) 8:00 pm EST

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) - The All-Star break came at the wrong time for the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons try to snap a two-game losing streak when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

Detroit entered the All-Star break on a 10-game win streak but have suffered back-to-back losses since returning.

The Orlando Magic handed the Pistons an 18-point drubbing on Tuesday before Detroit endured a 103-98 setback to the Bucks on Wednesday in the first game of a home-and-home series.

The Pistons have surrendered over 100 points in each of its last two games after allowing triple-digits just once during their recent 10-game surge.

The Bucks shot 43 percent (6-of-14) from 3-point range against the Pistons en route to ending a four-game losing streak.

Michael Redd scored 27 points on 7-of-11 shooting to lead Milwaukee to its first win over the Pistons in the previous six meetings.
