DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons have reached an agreement in principle with the city of Detroit and Olympia Entertainment for the team to move from the suburbs to downtown, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because there had been no formal announcement. Pistons owner Tom Gores is set to appear at a news conference Tuesday with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and Christopher Ilitch, president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings.Gores acknowledged last month that the team was 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 new arena that is being built for the Detroit Red Wings, who are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch. The arena site is about 30 miles from Auburn Hills.Olympia Entertainment, a division of Ilitch Holdings, handles business operations for the Red Wings, who are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before moving to Little Caesars Arena.The new arena is in the same part of downtown where the Tigers and Lions host their games, and not far from where Gores and Dan Gilbert have been hoping to put a new stadium for a Major League Soccer team.The Pistons have played in Auburn Hills since 1988 and played at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade prior to that. The team was downtown when it called Cobo Arena home from 1961-78.The Palace was built with private funds by William Davidson, who owned the Pistons before his death in 2009. The team won championships in its first two seasons in Auburn Hills and again in 2004. Although the atmosphere slipped in recent years as the team went through a rough stretch on the court, Detroit returned to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009, and the Pistons appear headed in the right direction in Stan Van Gundys third season as their coach and team president.Gores bought the Pistons from Karen Davidson in 2011. He said last month that if the team did leave the Palace, it was important to remember the success the franchise had in that area.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 Cheap Air Max China .

I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- This time, Lewis Hamilton is not going to lose any sleep on the eve of the Formula One title decider.The defending champion is second favorite heading into Sundays race with the pressure on rival Nico Rosberg, who is chasing his first ever title.Rosberg holds a 12-point lead and needs only to finish third -- even if Hamilton wins -- to take the F1 title, 34 years after his father Keke Rosberg was crowned F1 champion for the only time.Two years ago, the championship also went down to the last race in Abu Dhabi. But Hamilton was in the stronger position and had it all to lose because of a controversial double points rule that applied only to the final race and kept Rosberg in contention.It also kept Hamilton up all night in what he said is the only time he has failed to sleep the night before a race during his entire career.The reason I wasnt able to sleep then was that Id worked so hard during the year, and faced lots of different challenges, Hamilton said Saturday after taking pole position in qualifying for Sundays race. I had more wins but that double points system could have just thrown everything into the pit when it wasnt deserved. I have everything to gain tomorrow so its the complete opposite end of the spectrum and Im super excited.Hamilton is used to this kind of pressure, and knows how it feels either way.He also won on the last day of the season in 2008, beating Brazilian Felipe Massa by one point in a dramatic finale.Massa won the Brazilian GP and thought he had sealed the championship but, with Massas Ferrari team celebrating wildly, Hamilton just did enough to cross the line in fifth right at the end.The previous year, Hamilton lost the title by one point to Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen.This season, both Mercedes drivers have won nine races each in a topsy-turvy campaign that started out largely in Rosbergs favor when he won the opening four races of the campaign as Hamilton struggled with engine problems.Although Rosberg trailed Hamilton by 19 points heading into the summer break, he then turned the tables on Hamilton to lead again by 33 points.But victory in the past three races hass kept Hamilton in the hunt.ddddddddddddIt sets up the perfect scenario for tomorrows race, Merecedes head of motorsport Toto Wolff said. Its going to be a thrilling showdown to a fantastic season.In the setting evening sun on Saturday, Hamilton dominated qualifying to clinch pole ahead of Rosberg.Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo qualified in third and starts on the second row with Raikkonen.With temperatures cooling on the Yas Marina circuit, Hamilton edged out Rosberg by .303 seconds to take his career-best 12th pole of the season and 61st of his career -- just four behind Brazilian great Ayrton Senna.Its kind of crazy to think I have 12 poles, a jubilant Hamilton said. We put the car in a real sweet spot today.Although Rosberg entered the race not needing to push for pole he insisted that he was going flat out.Im not ecstatic about today, said Rosberg, who took pole here in the two previous years. Lewis was just a little bit quicker.Rosberg has finished runner-up to Hamilton for the past two years but his season has seen the best and most focused driving of his career.Im proud of my season, Rosberg said.Both drivers may be relieved to see that teen sensation Max Verstappen is starting the race from sixth on the grid alongside Ferraris Sebastian Vettel.The 19-year-old Dutchman has been involved in several altercations with other drivers this season -- notably Vettel and Raikkonen -- and has earned a reputation for risky overtaking moves.With Vettel and Verstappen vying to finish in fourth place overall, and only five points separating them, both Mercedes drivers will be looking to steer well clear of that private battle.Getting stuck behind another driver in midfield is another potential headache.In the 2010 title decider, which also went down to the wire in Abu Dhabi, title favorite Fernando Alonso entered the race with an eight-point lead.But, following a tactical error, the Spanish driver got stuck behind Vitaly Petrov for much of the race and was unable to overtake as Vettel secured his first title.
