On the night Ben Wallace broke Detroit’s shot-blocking record, Rasheed Wallace’s defense and clutch shooting ensured the Pistons would win their 10th in a row at home.
Chauncey Billups tied a season high with 32 points and Rasheed Wallace had nine of his 24 during a key stretch of the fourth quarter to lift Detroit to a 102-95 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
Rashard Lewis’ three-point play midway through the fourth quarter put Seattle ahead 83-82, its first lead in almost 10 minutes.
The teams took turns with the lead before Rasheed Wallace turned two steals into a dunk and a mid-range jumper, giving the Pistons a 91-90 lead. Richard Hamilton then connected on a 3-pointer, and Tayshaun Prince made two free throws to seal the victory. |
