Joe Johnson and Lionel Hollins have separate histories beating up the Detroit Pistons.Saturday, they got to do it together.Johnson scored 15 of his 34 points in the final eight minutes and Hollins beat the Pistons for the 10th time in 11 tries as the Brooklyn Nets pulled away to win 102-90.I was moving pretty good, and we just started executing and hitting big shot after big shot, Johnson said. We had a lot of mistakes and we let the lead slip away in the fourth quarter, but then Coach called a timeout and we got things back together.Johnson has averaged 16.4 points in 40 career games against Detroit, but has rarely looked more impressive than he did Saturday against Stan Van Gundys team. Johnson was 14 of 23 from the floor, torching everyone the Pistons tried against him, and added eight rebounds.We got blown up by a great player, Van Gundy said. Ive been coaching against him for a long time, and as you can see, I still havent found a way to stop him. We wanted to double him, but he was making 23-footers, and you dont want to run a guy out that far. At the end, we didnt have a choice.The Pistons (0-3) got 18 points and 11 rebounds from Greg Monroe, who was making his season debut after a two-game suspension for a drunk-driving arrest, but shot 1 for 17 on 3-pointers.Obviously, 5.9 per cent isnt going to get you anywhere on 3-pointers, Van Gundy said. A lot of that is on me, because I still dont have a handle on what this team can do offensively.Kevin Garnett added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets (1-1), while Deron Williams scored 15.Being 1-1 is obviously better than being 0-2, but I would have been proud of the way this team (played) no matter what happened, Hollins said.The Nets led 59-47 after a first half that saw them score at least 25 points against Pistons small forward Kyle Singler. Singler struggled against Johnson, who had 17 in the first half, and was beaten badly by Williams for three straight baskets.The Pistons were able to protect Singler a little more in the third quarter, and with Monroe available, they were able to withstand Andre Drummonds third straight game with foul trouble.That let them stay within 81-75 at the end of three, and they took a 84-83 lead when Caron Butler hit three free throws with 8:49 to play. Drummond, though, picked up his fifth foul moments later, and Johnson scored the next seven points to put Brooklyn back in front.Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ended the Nets run with a jumper, but the Pistons werent able to do anything with Johnson.Its crazy, Garnett said. Ive got the best seat in the house to be able to watch him. I told him after this one that he played an awesome game.___TIP-INSNets: Garnett was booed every time he touched the ball, just as he has been at the Palace of Auburn Hills since the Celtics beat the Pistons in the 2008 Eastern Conference finals.Pistons: The game was the official debut of the multi-million dollar renovations of the 26-year-old Palace, highlighted by a massive six-screen videoboard at centre court. The new technology was used as part of a halftime tribute to Detroit that included a surprise appearance by Kid Rock. . The Pistons shot 25 per cent (8 for 32) outside the paint.TURNING POINTAfter the Pistons took the lead on Butlers free throws, Johnson outscored the Pistons 15-2 in a stretch of just under five minutes. What can you say when a guy gets hot like that? We just tried to get him the ball in a good position and he took over the game, Hollins said.NUMBERSThrough three games, the Pistons are shooting 21.9 per cent on 3-pointers, but taking more than 20 a game. Josh Smith (0 for 6) and Caldwell-Pope (2 for 16) have struggled the most.UP NEXT:Nets: Host Oklahoma City on Monday.Pistons: Host New York on Wednesday. Orioles Luis Ortiz Jersey . He has spent much of his adult life trying to give back to his native South Sudan, the war-torn African nation the Cavaliers forward and his family fled when he was a young boy. Orioles Jim Palmer Jersey . Only it wasnt the extended right pad of his old teammate Jonathan Bernier early in the final frame, it was James Reimer, who stole a night that was supposed to belong to the former King. http://www.cheaporiolesjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=orioles-andrew-cashner-jersey . The Canadian Football Leagues all-time passing leader said he has not made a final decision, but he will discuss his future with Montreal Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall on the weekend. Orioles Frank Robinson Jersey . So what happens? Stevenson lands a huge left to Dawsons temple only 76 seconds into the opening round and walks away with the championship belt. "I said Id knock him out," said Stevenson (21-1). Orioles Cal Ripken Jersey . Sopoaga hit the upright with his first shot at goal from 15 metres. He then kicked nine goals in succession -- two conversions and seven penalties -- before being replaced in the 62nd minute, three points short of the Highlanders record for most points in a match.DENVER -- The Colorado Avalanche downplayed their dominance over the defending Stanley Cup champions this season. No sense giving the Chicago Blackhawks any sort of bulletin board material, just in case the two teams meet again in the post-season. Semyon Varlamov stopped 37 shots for his 100th NHL win, helping the Avalanche beat the Blackhawks 3-2 on Wednesday night to take four of five in the season series. "I dont want to talk about sending messages," Varlamov said. "We are focusing on what we are doing and on the playoffs." Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville wasnt reading too much into the Avalanches advantage, either. After all, the Avs only outscored Chicago 17-14. "There are going to be certain teams your record isnt going to be as good as you like," Quenneville said. "It looks like its a landslide against you, but every game has been different. Every game has been close." Thats because these two squads are almost mirror images. Theyre fast, young and have quality goaltending. Chicago has been that way for years. The Avalanche are just coming of age under first-year coach Patrick Roy. He doesnt mind the comparisons to Chicago, but thinks it might be a little premature because of "what theyve been able to accomplish. But we certainly look up to them." Brad Malone scored his first goal of the season, Matt Duchene extended his points to a career-high nine games with a goal and an assist, and Ryan OReilly scored what turned out to be the game-winner on a two-man advantage as the Avalanche jumped over the Blackhawks in the Central Division standings and into second place. "We are happy to be in second place, but thats not our goal," Duchene said. "We want to keep pushing and climb as high as we can." Patrick Kane and Brandon Saad scored for Chicago. Antti Raanta made 26 saves filling in for Corey Crawford. It was the first time Raanta has been in net since Jan. 28. Varlamov became the fourth Russian-born goaltender to record 100 wins, joining Evgeni Nabokov (347), Nikolai Khabibulin (333) and Ilya Bryzgalov (213). This also was Varlamovs 33rd win, second-most in the league behind Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury (34). The Avalanche had a 5-on-3 opportunity for 1:30 midway through the third period following an interference call on Andrew Shaw and a delay of game by Marcus Kruger after he sent the puck into the seats.dddddddddddd OReilly capitalized when he grabbed a rebound near the net and knocked it in for a 3-1 advantage. Chicago pulled Raanta with 2:32 remaining and scored seconds later when Saad knocked the puck past Varlamov. The Blackhawks momentarily put Raanta back on the ice, but summoned him to the bench with 1:37 left, leading to a wild finish. Saad sent a backhander just over the net with 25 seconds left and lined a shot into the chest of Varlamov with 4.9 seconds remaining. After that save, the crowd began chanting "Varly! Varly!" "Varly has been playing outstanding for us," Roy said. "He gives us a chance to win every night." Duchene staked Colorado to a 2-0 lead 19 seconds into the second period when he sent a wrist shot past Raanta. The Blackhawks sliced into the lead at 8:23 when Kane skated down the right side with defenceman Jan Hejda hanging all over him. Kane found just enough separation to lift backhanded shot over the shoulder of Varlamov for his 29th goal of the season. Colorado was without forwards P.A. Parenteau (right knee) and Paul Stastny (back). The team called up Paul Carey and Malone from the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League to add depth. Carey made his NHL debut and Malone instantly contributed as he scored late in the opening period. Cruising along the left boards, Malone sent a low liner at Raanta that went right through his legs. "It was a good shot. It was a surprising shot," Raanta said. "Thats how hockey treats you. You have to let those goals go and just keep going and try to make more saves." NOTES: Blackhawks C Jonathan Toews said of Colorados recent success against his team: "We just need to stop playing into their hands." ... Varlamov had an assist on Malones goal, his third of the season. ... Varlamov was 4-0 in five games (four starts) against Chicago, with a 1.59 goals-against average. ... Varlamov was given the puck to commemorate his 100th win. "It was important that I save the puck," he said.
