| (MySportsbook) - The Detroit Pistons tasted defeat for the first time this season when they dropped a 74-72 decision to the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite the fact the Pistons entered the game without a loss, they can't be overly surprised they came out on the short end of the decision. Coach Rick Carlisle has never won a game at Staples Center - against either the Clippers or Lakers. "We have things to work on," Carlisle said.
