Teetering after losing three of four and coming off a 35-point drubbing to open a five-game road trip, the San Antonio Spurs regrouped Monday with a 109-99 victory over the host Detroit Pistons.
"I thought this was a nice bounce-back performance from our guys," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "We came out and did the things we needed to do."
The Spurs will aim to maintain the momentum -- and string together consecutive victories for the first time since Feb. 12 and Feb. 14 -- when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
The Bulls will be completing a set of back-to-back games after beating the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 123-102 on Tuesday.
