Pistons notes: Darrun Hilliard focused on getting better defensively

AUBURN HILLS -- Sensing a potential mismatch at the start of the second quarter, the Chicago Bulls made it a point of getting the basketball to Dwyane Wade.

Turns out, Darrun Hilliard had done his homework.

Wade turned the basketball over on the first possession, then took an off-balance shot during the next, illustrating his rough night shooting the ball in the Detroit Pistons' 102-91 win Tuesday at the Palace.

While Wade finished 5 of 13, with 19 points and seven assists, those two stops were crucial for Hilliard in his bid to maintain playing time in the Detroit rotation.
