--Since the 2004-05 season, the Pistons are a combined 38-8 in the month of February. They're 9-3 this month after Wednesday's game in Utah. They've had at least nine wins each of the previous four seasons.
--The last time the Pistons won in Energy Solutions Arena -- then called the Delta Center -- it was November of 2002 and assistant coach Michael Curry was with the team as a forward. --Wednesday night was also the Pistons' sixth straight loss to the Jazz.
"I'm pretty sure it's tough for a lot of teams here," said Tayshaun Prince, who scored 13. "It's a tough atmosphere. When they get back into the game like they did tonight, their ball club does a good job of getting behind them."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We're a veteran team -- that can't happen to us. You have to understand why you got up like that. You played a certain way. You can't just all of the sudden play out of character, and that's what we did, we played out of character." -- Pistons coach Flip Saunders, on his team losing its edge after building an 18-point lead.
