Watch NBA : Pistons at Pacers Live Streaming, kick off at 7:00 PM ET, February 5, 2010.

The Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers opened February by ending losing streaks. One of them can begin the month on a rare winning streak as the woeful Central Division foes meet Friday night at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Detroit (16-31) ended a five-game slide with Tuesday night’s 97-93 win in New Jersey, while Indiana (17-32) knocked off Toronto 130-115 that same evening to snap a three-game skid.

Each team has posted just three winning streaks all season — the longest being five games — and the only one each has had since Dec. 12 was a three-game run in mid-January. They’re in a virtual tie for 12th place in the Eastern Conference.

Plagued by injuries for much of the season, the Pistons had all but two players available against the Nets. Despite that healthy lineup, they needed Tayshaun Prince’s dunk with 45.6 seconds left to take the lead for good versus the league’s worst team.

Richard Hamilton, who fed Prince for that alley-oop slam, scored 11 of his team-leading 22 points in the final period, including three free throws in the final 21.3 seconds. Backcourt teammate Rodney Stuckey added 21 points.
