Pistons' coach Michael Curry has been playing Allen Iverson alongside Rodney Stuckey more lately, which has resulted in better production from A.I.

"We're no longer asking him, for 20 minutes a night, to run the team," Curry said before Friday's loss to the Jazz. "Maybe during stretches for 4 to 6 minutes in the first half, and for 4 to 6 minutes in the second half, we may ask him to run the team, but not for longer stretches as we were when he first got here.

"Because of that, I think he's able to go more into his scoring mode and keep more of his scoring mentality."

Iverson has scored 20, 28, and 38 points in the team's last three games after not reaching the 20-point mark in ten straight games.
