AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Michy Batshuayi Belgium Jersey . - 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.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. The third came in 2009-10, which also featured an 11-game losing streak. ... Jodie Meeks, who has missed the entire season with a stress fracture in his back, is expected to resume practicing this week and could play on Detroits upcoming three-game road trip.COMING HOME: Chris Kaman, a native Michigander who played his college basketball at Central Michigan, was 6 of 8 in the first half for 12 points. He finished with 14 points in 21 minutes.Right now, were letting teams stick around a little too much, but were digging the games out at the end, he said.UP NEXTBLAZERS: Host Minnesota on Wednesday.PISTONS: Visit Phoenix on Friday.

And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie. LeBrun doesnt think John Gibson or Frederik Andersen are on the block, so by process of elimination, Viktor Fasth might be an option. Hes signed for another season at $2.9 million. Meanwhile, Washington Capitals GM George McPhee told LeBruun that his priority is still finding a suitor for Martin Erat. "The only thing Im working on that has to be done is moving (Martin) Erat," Caps GM George McPhee told LeBrun on ESPN.com. "There are some teams interested. He still wants out. Id love to be able to do it this weekend. But well see." Where the Edmonton Oilers are concerned, LeBrun hears that winger Ales Hemsky is getting decent traction on the market and that its a guarantee he gets dealt before Wednesday. LeBrun also says that veteran winger Ryan Smyth and Nick Schultz could be moved to contenders. Finally, theres no contract extension on the horizon for pending unrestricted free agent David Legwand, but with a full no-movement clause, Nashville Predators GM Poile says theres limit in his ability to explore the trade market. Unless an offer blows Poile away and is something Legwand wants, theres a good chance hell stay. In an update on the Vancouver Canucks, LeBrun writes that the Philadelphia Flyers could be interested in centre Ryan Kesler or defenceman Alexander Edler. If Kesler is in their sights, LeBrun imagines that the Canucks asking price in any Kesler deal would start with Brayden Schenn. But hes not sure the Flyers would go there. Crunch Time For Phillips?

The Hurricanes have 61 points through 59 games this season and sit five points out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference. Market For Mez? Philly.com writer Sam Carchidi writes that Flyers GM Paul Holmgren faces a tough decision on pending UFS defenceman Andrej Meszaros - trade him or keep him for the stretch run.
