Former Syracuse stars Jerami Grant and Michael Carter-Williams squared off in the NBA Tuesday night as the Detroit Pistons played at the Orlando Magic. The Pistons pulled out the road win 105-93. The win snapped a three game losing streak. 

Grant did a little bit of everything in this one. He finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one steal. On the other side, starting Magic point guard Michael Carter-Williams had a nice game. He finished with 11 points, six rebounds, five assists and one block. 

Carter-Williams missed almost a month due to injury, but has done a nice job distributing the basketball since his return. Shooting has been inconsistent as he works his way back, but he is averaging nearly six assists over the last six games. 

Grant signed a big free agent contract with the Pistons in the offseason. He is having the best season of his career averaging 23.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. 

This was the second straight matchup between the Pistons and the Magic, both of which took place at Orlando. While Detroit won Tuesday night's game, the Magic was victorious on Sunday 105-96. Jerami Grant had a strong performance in that one as well, scoring 24 points, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out four assists. Michael Carter-Williams did not score much in Orlando's win, taking just three shots on his way to three points. He did grab nine boards and hand out five assists along with one steal and one block.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
