The Detroit Pistons headed to Florida without Allen Iverson due to him having an MRI, and met up with the third place Orlando Magic.  This is the first time Richard Hamilton has started since the change sending him to the bench by letting AI take the starting role at the shooting guard position.  Well good ole Rip went off and the whole team meshed so well together that they should really take a look at keeping Rip in the starting lineup and having Iverson come off the bench.  The Pistons come away with the win with the final score ending at 93-85.

The top 3 scorers for Detroit were Richard Hamilton with 31 points, Rodney Stuckey with 22 points and Tayshaun Prince with 17 points.  The Pistons finally snapped their 8 game losing streak by beating a well grounded team.  Hopefully the Pistons will be putting this kind of effort in the rest of their games this season, as we all miss seeing their great defense and team chemistry that we have come to expect.
