AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons are closing in on a move downtown.Owner Tom Gores said Friday night the team is very close to a deal to leave The Palace of Auburn Hills and start playing downtown next season. The Pistons have been in talks about playing at the Detroit Red Wings new arena, not far from where the Tigers and Lions also host their home games.I think if were going to do it, its going to be soon, Gores said before Friday nights home opener in Auburn Hills. Were getting close.The Pistons have played in Auburn Hills since 1988. Prior to that, the team played at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade. The Pistons were downtown when they called Cobo Arena home from 1961-78.The Pistons won championships in their first two seasons in Auburn Hills and again in 2004, but the atmosphere slipped in recent years as the team went through several dreadful seasons. Detroit returned to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009.The Palace was built with private funds by William Davidson, who owned the Pistons from 1974 until his death in 2009. The increasingly likely move next season meant Fridays game against Orlando may have been the final home opener at the suburban arena.Were serious about making this move, and I think we should take it in. I think we should enjoy it, The Palace, said Gores, who bought the team from Davidsons wife Karen in 2011. Really has been a historic arena, credit to Mr. Davidson.Gores said the Pistons have not thought about building their own facility to play in downtown. The Red Wings, who are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch, are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before moving to Little Caesars Arena.The new venue will be across the highway from where the Tigers and Lions play at Comerica Park and Ford Field, and a group is hoping to put a stadium for a Major League Soccer franchise in that area as well.Theres a lot going on down there, Gores said.Gores said if a deal is reached to leave Auburn Hills, there would still be time to celebrate the teams history at its current arena.I think we have to be really mindful of this community in Auburn Hills and their loyalty in showing up, he said. This has been a real community, and I want them to feel the same wherever were playing.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister College Jerseys Black Friday .

Brisbane hooker Andrew McCullough says clean and quick use of the ball is vital for the Broncos as they prepare to face three of the NRLs biggest forward packs before the finals.The Broncos host fourth-placed Canterbury on Thursday night at Suncorp Stadium, before clashes with the Melbourne Storm (away) and Sydney Roosters (home) in a tough schedule to round out the regular season.McCullough believes the Broncos can get through it and generate some pre-finals momentum, provided they can increase their ruck speed and iron out the sort of mistakes that have marked their topsy-turvy 2016 campaign so far.Turn over cheap ball or a knock-on within your own half and that just gives them so much energy and belief, McCullough told reporters.With those big boys, thats all they need.Weve got a gameplan where were going to need to make sure we really improve in certain areas and (one of those) is certainly hanginng onto the ball.ddddddddddddIts definitely going to be up to us within the middle of the field.The Broncos have struggled to contain bigger sides this season and suffered what many players have described as their most embarrassing defeat of the year to the Bulldogs nearly two months ago, losing 40-14 at ANZ Stadium.We pride ourselves on our defence and that game I reckon was our worst this year in defence, in that second half, winger Corey Oates said.McCullough didnt play in that match due to injury but said he knew the mindset of the players and understood where they had erred.The boys spoke after the game about what went wrong and how we can adjust our style of play against a big forward pack like that, he said.Weve trained it, weve just got to use it on Thursday night.
