It hasn’t been a good start to the season for Detroit, especially on the road, whether on or off the court. On Monday, the Piston’s team plane had to make an emergency landing at Houston because of hydraulic issues with the left side landing gear. None of the 44 people on board the charter plane were injured.

Detroit takes a 3-and-10 record into tonight’s game at Houston, including 1-and-5 on the road. The Rockets are 6-and-7 after winning their third straight yesterday afternoon with a victory over the Wizards in Washington.
