Pistons Win 7th Straight In A Back And Forth Battle
A back and forth battle ensued between 2 of the most depleted teams in the league, the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Clippers. The game had a whopping 21 lead changes and 14 ties. The Pistons would get the better of LA in the final seconds of the game with the score ending 88-87.
Without Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton the tough minded Pistons win their 7th straight game. Rodney Stuckey led the team with 24 points and right behind him was Tayshaun Prince with 20 points. Antonio McDyess was huge off the bench with 6 points and 15 rebounds in only 23 minutes of game time. With the addition of AI this year, the Pistons hope to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals. It might be an uphill struggle as the Celtics and Cavaliers will probably stand in their way.
