"These go to eleven." A classic quote from the movie "Spinal Tap," and the current state of the Detroit Pistons losing streak, their longest in 16 years. A two-game road trip to Texas ended Wednesday night with a 112-92 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

And Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey left the game in the third quarter with a sore right knee, the Detroit News reports.

The Pistons tied the game at 77-77, but the Spurs answered with an 11-0 run.

• The San Antonio Express-News reports that former Piston and current Spur Antonio McDyess is not impressed by his ex-team. "You don't want to be that team," McDyess said. "The one that they win against."

• The Express-News has a slideshow from the Pistons-Spurs game.
