Auburn Hills, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Al Horford collected 19 points and 16 rebounds and the Atlanta Hawks held off a furious rally to beat the Detroit Pistons 106-103 on Friday night in a game between two of the NBAs hottest teams. Sitting on a seven-game winning streak since releasing Josh Smith last month, the Pistons trailed by as much as 23 points but had a chance to tie the score at the buzzer after an out-of-bounds call went their way following a replay review. But Kentavious Caldwell-Popes off-balance 3-pointer from the right sideline was short, ending the winning streak. Paul Millsap added 17 points points for the Eastern Conference-leading Hawks, who extended their winning streak to seven games, improving to 21-2 since late November. They have won eight in a row and 12 of their last 13 on the road. Caldwell-Pope fired up 23 shots, including 16 3-pointers, and led Detroit with 20 points. He missed all seven of his 3-point attempts over the first three quarters, then made four to lead a Pistons rally in the fourth. Markelle Fultz Jersey .

I was so anxious to be out there and the crowd was so into it. I was trying my best but it just wasnt working out for me. Those last couple of shots I finally really did relax.Walker battled through cramps in his right foot, but kept on playing.Hes courageous, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said.

He elevated through his shot as fans in the lower section rose frrom their seats in unison, almost willing the ball into the basket.ddddddddddddhe Bucks couldnt get a shot off at the end of regulation.Bad teams lose these types of games and this is something we are going to have to get over all year, said Bucks forward Jared Dudley.STEPHENSONS NIGHT:Stephenson got off to a rough start missing his first six shots and failing to score until the 5:49 mark of the third quarter. But a high-flying dunk over Larry Sanders in the lane seemed to ignite the flamboyant swingman, who quickly helped the Hornets trim the lead to 15 entering the fourth quarter. Stephenson, who is battling a groin injury, left the game twice in the final few minutes because of cramping in his leg.If I aint scoring Im going to do other things, Stephenson said. Im going to pass to my teammates, rebound, play a little defence and just help us win. I struggled on the offensive end and Im going to get it together and just keep playing hard.PARKERs NBA DEBUT:The Bucks finished with the worst record in the league last year and wound up drafting Jabari Parker from Duke with the No. 2 overall pick.
