Roark (7-5) allowed four runs on 10 hits and one walk over six innings in a 7-2 setback in front of several friends and family members, as the Cubs snapped his personal streak of four consecutive victories on Friday.AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - LaMarcus Aldridge might never become the leading scorer in Portland Trail Blazers history.Hes got a real chance to put second place out of reach, though.Aldridge scored 23 points in Portlands 98-86 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, including a crucial pair of baskets to end Detroits fourth-quarter rally. He now has 11,347 career points, 17 more than Terry Porter.Its a big honour to pass Terry, because he was a big-time player for this franchise and a big-time player in this league, Aldridge said after helping Portland win its fifth straight. He means a lot to the city of Portland, and to pass him means that all the hard work is paying off.It also means Ive been with this franchise for a long time.At 29, Aldridge isnt likely to pick up the 6,693 points he needs to catch Clyde Drexler, so hes settling on short-term goals.Right now, Im just focused on getting these wins on the road, he said. This has been one of our tougher road trips, and the next one is tough as well.Detroit lost its 13th in a row, one short of the franchise record set in 1979-80 and tied in 1993-94. Those were both aging teams, with the second group marking the end of the Bad Boys era at the Palace. The current Pistons havent had a winning season or won a playoff game in seven years.Im not a patient, understanding man, and Ive never been in this situation, said Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy, who has never had a losing season or missed the playoffs in his NBA coaching career. But I have to try to be a little understanding, because most of these guys have never been in a situation like this, either. Confidence is low right now and getting worse every game.Greg Monroe had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Detroit, which only got 40 points from its starting lineup.Weve got two days off, and a lot of assessing to do, Van Gundy said. We need some serious adjustments into the way we play and who we play. When youve lost 13 in a row, everyone and everything is on the table.dddddddddddd.The pattern of the game was established early, as Portland was able to convert most possessions into good scoring opportunities, while the Pistons struggled to finish at the rim. Detroit, one of the worst teams at scoring inside despite the presence of Josh Smith, Andre Drummond and Monroe, shot 44 per cent in the paint in the first half.Portlands defence slowly took control in the third quarter, holding the Pistons to 22 per cent shooting (4 for 18) and expanding the lead to as many as 17 points. It was 76-62 going into the fourth, but the Pistons finally put together enough baskets and stops to make a run.Monroes layup pulled Detroit within 81-77 with 7:12 to play, but Aldridge hit two straight baskets and Damian Lillard rattled home a 3-pointer to keep the Pistons at bay.It was disappointing that Detroit made that run at the end, but I liked the way we finished the game and took care of our business, said Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts.TIP-INSBLAZERS: Portland has beaten Detroit four straight times, and has won in five of its last seven visits to the Palace.PISTONS: Detroit had three previous 13-game losing streaks, including one each in the 1979-80 and 1993-94 seasons after the 14-game skid.
