The frustration and losses keep piling up for the Detroit Pistons, who have very little time to correct their mistakes.Boston handed them their third consecutive defeat on Saturday, as Al Horfords putback with 1.3 seconds left allowed the Celtics to pull out a 94-92 victory. The Pistons had been the leagues lone remaining unbeaten team at home before Horford ruined the opener of a four-game homestand.It doesnt get any easier on Monday, when All-Star guard James Harden and the Houston Rockets visit The Palace.Its tough, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said. Weve lost three in a row now, six out of eight. Were in a really tough stretch. That weighs on everybody.Van Gundy would like extended practice time to work on some of his teams issues but the rugged schedule wont allow it. The Pistons are in a three-week stretch where they play 13 games, with no more than one day off in-between those games.I think we just have to build better habits, he said. I was talking to (forward) Tobias (Harris) and you can see the difference as we get less and less practice time here. Our habits arent good enough right now to carry us through, and so we had that one real good day in San Antonio (Nov. 10), where we spent a lot time working on getting the ball from side to side and moving the ball. It helped us for a few days. Now were a long way from that.Detroit (6-8) wasnt that far from getting a victory on Saturday. It failed to secure the rebound in the closing seconds and that proved to be the difference.When you get in tight games like that, its all the little things that add up, Harris said. We gave them five points within the span of two seconds at the end of quarters. Its little plays like those that we have to take away and be locked in and focused on. We need every little thing -- every loose ball, every 50-50 ball, every rebound and stuff like that. It will help us be a great team.The Rockets (8-5) are feeling good about themselves after winning two straight, including a 111-102 win over Utah on Saturday. Harden had another stellar outing -- 31 points, 10 assists and no turnovers in 35 minutes. Hes averaging 28.7 points and a league-high 12.5 assists.Houston also got a big night from its young center, Clint Capela, who contributed a career-high 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists.He had a monster game and I dont think that he did anything that he cant keep repeating, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni told the Houston Chronicle. Its just what he does. Hes much more comfortable, I think, offensively.Houston also received some big performances from two veteran bench players who signed with the club as free agents this summer. Guard Eric Gordon had 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while forward Nene contributed 16 points and six rebounds.Were getting better, Harden told ESPN.com. Were continuing to get better and to grow. Each and every guy knows their role. They do it at a high level, and the result is we dont turn the basketball over and we get really good shots.

DENVER -- Carlos Gonzalez cant ever remember hitting a ball any better or louder.Just a sweet sound coming off the bat, he said.The smooth-swinging slugger hit a three-run homer to break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, Chad Bettis threw efficiently into the seventh and the Colorado Rockies beat the Atlanta Braves 7-3 on Thursday night.Gonzalez drilled a 97 mph fastball from Mike Foltynewicz (3-4) over the fence in right-center. It was Gonzalezs 20th homer of the season and first since participating in the All-Star Home Run Derby.I knew I was going to get one pitch the whole night. That was it, Gonzalez said. Im glad I didnt miss it. I didnt waste that great outing that Bettis was throwing.Bettis (8-6) was in command all night thanks to his curveball. The right-hander allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings. He was cruising through Atlantas lineup until hitting a bump in the seventh when he gave up an RBI double to A.J. Pierzynski.I really liked the way he used his curveball, Rockies manager Walt Weiss explained. Got a lot of strikes and outs with it.Trailing 7-1 in the ninth, the Braves scored twice before the Rockies brought in closer Carlos Estevez with two outs. He got Jace Peterson to roll out to end the game and earn his seventh save.The Rockies have won seven straight over Atlanta at Coors Field.Foltynewicz was both electric and erratic in 5 2/3 innings. He didnt allow a hit until DJ LeMahieus leadoff single in the fourth and struck out five. He walked five.His most costly mistake was the fastball to Gonzalez, who has six seasons with at least 20 homers.You cant fall behind one of the best fastball hitters in the game, Foltynewicz conceded. He was waiting on the inside fastball and he turned on it.Pinch-hitter Mark Reynolds added some insurance with a solo homer in the seventh that went an estimated 484 feet. It was his first pinch-hit homer in two years.He got it good, Weiss said. Pinch-hit homers are nice.There was a crazy play in the eighth with runners on second and third. On a single by Nick Hundley, Trevor Story scored easily but Daniel Descalso nearly collided with shortstop Errick Aybar as Descalso took off from second.dddddddddddd Descalso was thrown out at the plate, but Aybar was called for obstruction. Hundley was credited with one RBI and Aybar was given an error.Pierzynski was ejected on the play for what he said was kicking the ball toward the Rockies dugout.We needed a new ball. Ive done that 100 times over my career, Pierzynski explained. I wasnt looking at him. I didnt say anything to him.I apologized. Maybe I should have bent over and picked it up and rolled it over there?Anthony Recker replaced him and had an RBI double in the ninth, part of a two-run inning off Rockies reliever Jason Motte.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: OF Mallex Smith (broken left thumb) is swinging one-handed and doing some throwing. ... RHP Daniel Winkler (broken right elbow) isnt close to heading out for a rehab assignment, interim manager Brian Snitker said.

Weiss said OF Gerardo Parra (sprained left ankle) is getting closer to a rehab assignment.CONTACTOF Nick Markakis went 32 straight plate appearances without swinging at a pitch and missing. That ended in the ninth when he swung at strike three. He finished 1 for 3.He has such a great eye at the plate, Snitker said. Hes one of the most disciplined hitters that Ive seen.REST DAY3B Nolan Arenado got a rare day off Thursday after struggling at the plate this month. He hasnt homered since July 5 at San Francisco.I run him out there pretty regularly. Hes very durable, Weiss said.UP NEXTThis certainly looks familiar: Jon Gray (5-4) and Julio Teheran (3-8) will face each other Friday night -- the second time in a week.
