AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
Foster-Redskins-Jersey/">Mason Foster Jersey . --
Andre Drummond knows hes a poor free-throw shooter. He
still doesnt like it when teams make an effort to remind
him. On an afternoon when the Philadelphia 76ers started
intentionally fouling him in the third quarter, the 20-
year-old forward responded with a performance the NBA
hasnt seen in 23 years. Drummond sat out the end of the
third quarter after missing nine of 12 free throws in the
period, but in the 34 minutes he did play, he became the
first player to have 31 points, 19 rebounds and six
steals in a game since Hakeem Olajuwon in 1990. He set
career highs in all three categories, two days after
Maurice Cheeks left him on the bench for the last 21
minutes of Detroits loss to the Lakers. "Thats a slap in
the face for any player, so you get fired up," said
Drummond, who also blocked two shots. "You cant get angry
and lose your focus, though. I just told myself it was a
good chance to work on my free-throw shooting and put
some points on the board." Philadelphia coach Brett
Brown, who watched Gregg Popovich use the strategy during
his days as an assistant in San Antonio, said he didnt
enjoy the idea, but thought it was his teams only chance
when it trailed by 24 points at halftime. "It is one of
the ugly parts of the game," Brown said. "You do not
really like doing it, but it is a rule and it helped our
team." The Pistons are used to the strategy -- Popovich
was one of several coaches to use it against Ben Wallace
-- but not usually in the third quarter. Drummond,
though, is a unique case. He might be the worst free-
throw shooter in league history -- he entered the game
shooting 27 per cent from the line -- and Detroit
collapsed late against the Lakers with him on the bench.
"Andres a great young player, but I told him tonight that
he needs to learn from this," Cheeks said. "If he becomes
a better free-throw shooter, no one will be able to knock
him out of a game." At one point, the Sixers immediately
fouled Drummond on three straight possessions, forcing
Cheeks to take him out of the game. The strategy worked,
as Philadelphia cut the margin to 94-82 going into the
fourth, and the Pistons had to put Drummond back into the
game. "I left him in there long enough to see how well he
was going to shoot, because he was having a great game,
but there comes a point where you have to take him out,"
Cheeks said. "They broke the rhythm of the game -- thats
why you do it -- and I didnt want that to keep
happening." Drummond, though, changed things in the
fourth. He finished off a three-point play and then
swished a pair of free throws to give the Pistons a 103-
85 lead with 9:04 to play. That kept Brown from
intentionally fouling him until they trailed by 19 with
4:03 left. Drummond split a pair of shots before coming
out of the game, just short of Detroits first 30/20 night
since Dennis Rodman in 1991. "When you do anything over
and over, you get better at it," he said. "My teammates
kept telling me to take my time, and I hit more of them
toward the end." Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith each
added 20 points for the Pistons, while Thaddeus Young had
24 for Philadelphia before fouling out late in the game.
The Sixers play at a much higher pace than the Pistons,
so a up-tempo first half should have played right into
their hands. Instead, it was Detroit that dominated,
scoring 40 points in the first quarter and leading by as
many as 25 on the way to the 70-46 lead. The Pistons
outshot Philadelphia 55.1 per cent to 39.1 per cent, and
had a 31-14 advantage on the boards. Jennings dominated
his matchup with rookie Michael Carter-Williams in the
half, outscoring him 13-8 and dishing out 11 assists to
just three for Carter-Williams. Drummond also had a
first-half double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
The Pistons had five players score in double figures in
the half, while Philadelphia didnt have any. "Its pretty
obvious that we need to come out better," Carter-Williams
said. "Were fine scoring the ball, but we need to play
defence. Its a team thing, and we have to put the pieces
together." NOTES: Detroit native Bob Seger was in
attendance and conducted the crowd in a sing-a-long of
his hit "Old Time Rock-n-Roll" during a first-half
timeout. ... Detroit wore its dark-blue "Motor City"
jerseys for the second straight home game, while
Philadelphia wore its white jerseys.

their road trip with a win.

Betancourt was 2-5 with a 4.08 ERA and 16 saves for the
Rockies last season before tearing a ligament in his
pitching elbow. He considered undergoing platelet-rich
plasma therapy to fix his arm, but announced in August
his decision to have Tommy John surgery.

financial firepower, the 31-year-old midfielder was the
only arrival in the January transfer window. Signed until
the end of the season as injury cover, Kallstrom might
not be fit until mid-March after arriving Friday at
Arsenal having injured his back earlier in the week while
training with Spartak Moscow.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The
Minnesota Wild fell into a sloppy pattern of play with
the puck after taking an early lead on the floundering
Florida Panthers, who snapped to life to forge a tie. But
the Wild proved they could learn a lesson -- and win a
game. Charlie Coyle put Minnesota ahead with 8:22
remaining after Florida scored twice in the third period,
and the Wild hung on to beat the Panthers 3-2 on Friday
night for their sixth win in seven games. "We kind of
fell into that trap a little bit after the second period,
where we wanted it to be easy," Wild coach Mike Yeo said.
"We were hoping it was going to be easy the rest of the
way. When you want it to be easy and youre not ready to
do the hard things, then it ends up being very
difficult." After a scoreless second period, the Wild
paid for their mid-game sluggishness by giving up goals
to Tomas Kopecky and Jonathan Huberdeau about 5 1/2
minutes apart. Minnesotas top line was buzzing all night,
though, and came through when it counted. Mikko Koivu,
who had two assists, controlled the puck along the end
boards and leaned forward for an off-balance pass to
Coyle, who was muscling for position in the crease with
Mike Mottau. Coyle poked the puck in for his second goal
in four games. "He put it right on my stick, so it found
a way home," Coyle said. Since Coyle returned from
injury, the Wilds lines have finally been settled. The
results have been obvious. "Its nice to have, for sure,
when you have guys that are going out there and they know
what to expect out of their linemates," Yeo said. "At the
same time we just have to make sure that we dont fall
asleep here." Josh Harding stopped 22 shots to improve to
9-0 at home. The NHL leader in goals-against average has
given up two goals or fewer in all but one of his 16
appearances. The Wild improved to 9-1-2 at home this
season for 20 points, the most by any NHL team. At 12-4-
4, they set a franchise record for most points (28)
through 20 games. Zach Parise scored early in the first
period during a power play off a pretty tic-tac-toe-style
passing sequence from Koivu and Jason Pominville, and
Pominville pushed the lead to 2-0 with his team-leaading
12th goal.
Fuller-Redskins-Jersey/">Kendall Fuller Jersey. The
Panthers have been outscored 47-19 over the first two
periods this season. "We just need to learn how to play
60 minutes because thats what kills us," Huberdeau said.
"Were always down. We never score the first goal." Jonas
Brodins own-zone turnover set up Kopecky for the first
goal, his first this season. Then after Nick Bjugstad
lost the puck on a rush when Ryan Suter forced him to
lose control, Huberdeau swooped in behind him to snipe a
shot high over Hardings glove to break a 12-game drought.
"Even on the bench there was never any panic. We stuck
with it," Pominville said. Tim Thomas made 17 saves for
the Panthers, who played for the first time without Kris
Versteeg. He was traded to Chicago on Thursday for a pair
of prospects, including 6-foot-6 right wing Jimmy Hayes,
who was scratched for this game. After firing coach Kevin
Dineen last week and replacing him with Peter Horachek,
Florida general manager Dale Tallon has promised more
changes if the Panthers dont get in a groove. They
started a five-game, 6,448-mile trip by falling to 1-8-1
on the road. Their last win away from home was the season
opener at Dallas. "The good thing is that we showed
character in coming back again, you know? A great
effort," Thomas said. "But we have to find some way to
quit getting down and getting behind right off the bat."
The Panthers went 0 for 3 on the power play and fell to 6
for 69 this season. "It seems like theres the same
picture coming back over and over again," Horachek said.
"This is definitely a project for us to get over that
mental part of the game." NOTES: Rookie Johan Gustafsson
was recalled from the AHL to back up Harding, with Niklas
Backstrom out because of an upper-body injury sustained
Wednesday when Torontos Nazem Kadri levelled him in the
crease. Kadri was given a three-game suspension by the
NHL. ... The Wild are 10-2-3 against the Panthers,
including 5-0-2 at home. ... Bjugstad, a star at Blaine
High School and the University of Minnesota, played in
Minnesota as a pro for the first time. He had about 70
friends and family members in attendance.
