AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons did not celebrate after setting
a franchise record for wins with a 103-97 victory over the New York Knicks on
Sunday.
    美聯社，密西根奧本山訊 -- 底特律活塞於星期天以103比97打敗紐約尼克締造隊史新
高的64勝後並未大肆慶祝。

Some of them barely even noticed.
    有些球員甚至根本沒注意到他們已經破紀錄了。

"This doesn't matter at all," said Lindsey Hunter, who was also a part of
Detroit's 20-62 season a dozen years ago. "We want the championship."
    12年前活塞留下20勝62敗的難堪成績時也是陣中一員的獵人大叔表示"有沒有破紀錄其
實都不是那麼重要，因為我們最終的目標只有一個，那就是歐布萊恩冠軍金盃。"
(譯按：隊史例行賽最差戰績為'79-'80年球季的16勝66敗，當時名列東區中央組第六名)

The Pistons (64-16) broke the mark of 63 wins set by the 1988-89 Bad Boys NBA
champs, a team led by current Knicks president Isiah Thomas.
    活塞目前64勝16敗的戰績已經改寫了'88-'89球季，由現任尼克總管笑笑湯所帶領，別
名壞孩子的冠軍隊伍所創下63勝19敗的隊史紀錄。

"That's a great feat," Chauncey Billups said. "It feels good to accomplish that
, especially in a storied franchise like this with the Bad Boys."
    槍蜥表示"那是了不起的壯舉，我們很高興能改寫隊史紀錄，尤其那紀錄原本是由史上
有名的壞孩子所創下，能改寫傳奇人物們所創下的紀錄，感覺似乎離他們的成就更近了一
步。"

Detroit has two games left before starting the playoffs as the league's top
seed.
    活塞在以聯盟第一種子的身分揮軍季後賽前還剩下兩場例行賽要打。

"This is what we've been waiting for," Rasheed Wallace said. "We got up for a
couple teams, but we weren't really excited about the regular season. We've
been waiting for the playoffs since Game 7 last year."
    溪蛙說"這是我們一直以來所期待的，我們還有幾場比賽要打，但我們對於例行賽戰績
如何其實不是特別在意，我們從去年總冠軍賽第七場結束後就一直期待今年季後賽的到來
。"

The Pistons took care of business early on Sunday. They got a three-point lead
from Tayshaun Prince three seconds after the opening tip, led by double digits
after just 98 seconds and were up by as many as 27 in the first quarter.
    活塞星期天的比賽早早就買單了，他們自跳球後三秒鐘小王子空中接力上籃被犯成功
小帳加一取得3比0領先，再來比賽進行僅98秒就取得雙位數的領先，在第一節甚至最多曾
以38比11，27分領先尼克。

"That was embarrassing," Knicks guard Jamal Crawford said. "I've never seen a
game quite like that. We got behind really fast."
    尼克後衛J.Crawford說"那真是令人囧興，我從沒看過這樣一場比賽，開賽沒多久我們
就遠遠落後對方。"

The Knicks (22-58), who need to win their last two games to avoid tying a
franchise record for losses, were without coach Larry Brown because of a
stomach ailment and dressed only 10 players.
    22勝58敗的尼克在例行賽最後兩場至少必須贏一場才能避免追平隊史最差戰績的不名
譽紀錄，但他們這幾場比賽將不會有布朗教練坐鎮，他將因胃病缺席，而且球隊只有10個
球員可用。

Steve Francis (back), Stephon Marbury (knee), Quentin Richardson (thumb) and
Channing Frye (knee) were among the missing, while Herb Williams ran the team
in place of Brown, who has missed games while coaching both franchises in the
last year because of health issues.
    尼克星光閃閃的傷兵名單包括背部受傷的Franchise、膝蓋受傷的Starbury、拇指受傷
的Q-Rich以及膝蓋受傷前表現出色的新秀前鋒C.Frye，而助理教練H.Williams將代理去年
就曾因為個人健康問題而缺席的布朗指揮尼克作戰。

"We only get to play five guys at a time, so we're not making any excuses,"
Williams said. "We turned the ball over, and they were getting layups and
three-point plays. When we took those away, they started hitting 3-pointers."
    Williams說"我們每次只需要派五名球員上場，所以我們沒有任何表現不好的理由。我
們一直在失誤，而他們則是接連不斷的上籃、三分打。當我們解決了失誤過多的問題後，
他們卻開始狂噴三分球。"

Wallace added 10 points for Detroit, which only had three players reach double
figures. Eight Pistons played at least 20 minutes.
    溪蛙為活塞添得10分，而全隊只有三名球員得分達到二位數，有八名活塞球員都至少
上場20分鐘。

"We were running around having fun," Billups said. "We were pretty much playing
preseason minutes, which is working out well."
    槍蜥說"我們這場球打得很歡樂，我們幾乎是把這場比賽當作季前熱身賽在打，不過看
來成效不錯。"

Nate Robinson led the Knicks with 23 points, while Jackie Butler added 18 and
nine rebounds.
    新科灌籃冠軍N.Robinson得到冠於尼克的23分，而J.Butler也把握了難得的上場機會
攻下18分外帶9籃板。

"That was tough," Robinson said. "That was really tough."
    Robinson說"要打敗活塞很難，真的很難。"

Detroit coach Flip Saunders began emptying his bench early in the second -- all
12 Pistons players saw first-half action -- but they still led 60-43 at the
intermission.
    底特律的老桑教練在第二節初就開始出清他的板凳 -- 12名活塞球員全都在上半場亮
過相 -- 不過他們在中場時仍以60比43大幅領先。

The margin was still 17 after three, and the Pistons' reserves did just enough
to keep the Knicks at bay in the fourth.
    比分差距在第三節結束時仍維持在17分，而活塞的替補球員在第四節尼克絕地大反攻
時仍能維持住領先的局面。

"Our bench players are meant to play in clusters with the starters," Saunders
said. "That's the way Joe (Dumars) built this team, so when you put five bench
guys together, they aren't as effective."
    老桑說"我們的板凳球員是用來和先發球員搭配上場的，那就是老喬的建隊理論，所以
當你派了五名替補球員上場，他們的表現可能不那麼有效率。"

New York pulled within six on Butler's hook with 24 seconds left, but chose not
to foul as Detroit ran out the clock.
    尼克在比賽時間剩下24秒Butler勾射得手時追到只剩下6分落後，但卻選擇不要執行犯
規戰術，任由活塞將時間耗完。

"Do you really think they were going to miss enough free throws?" Williams
asked. "I told them not to foul. It was my responsibility."
    被訪問時Williams說"你真的認為他們會錯失那麼多次罰球嗎？是我告訴他們不要犯規
，那是我的責任。"

Crawford seemed mildly surprised by his coach's decision.
    Crawford似乎對於他的教練所做的決定感到有些意外。

"I think I would have fouled if I was out there," he said. "It was a
two-possession game. Anything could have happened."
    他說"如果我當時在場上，我想我應該會去犯規。那是個只差兩次球權就可以追平的球
賽，什麼事都有可能發生不是？"

Game notes
    球賽花絮
Knicks assistant coach Mark Aguirre was also a member of the 1988-89 Pistons
.... Robinson played 14 minutes in the first half despite picking up two fouls
in the first 20 seconds of the game. ... The Knicks lost 59 games in 1962-63
and 1985-86. ... The Pistons and Detroit Red Wings are the first teams from the
same city to finish with the NBA and NHL's best regular-season record in the
same season. ... The Pistons also tied a team record with their 37th home win.
They can set a new mark Wednesday against the Wizards.
    尼克助理教練之一的M.Aguirre也曾是'88-'89年球季活塞球隊的一員....儘管在比賽
前20秒就吞下兩犯，Robinson在上半場還是打了14分鐘....尼克在'62-'63年球季及'85-
'86年球季都曾吞下59敗....底特律活塞和紅翼寫下了有史以來第一次同一個城市的NBA和
NHL(冰球)球隊在同一個球季都獲得例行賽最佳戰績的光榮紀錄....活塞在主場獲得37勝也
追平了隊史單一球季最佳主場戰績，他們如果在星期三對上巫師的比賽中獲勝，將可再次
改寫隊史紀錄。
