Well they shot 51.7% (despite Stuckey's 1-9) and held the Suns to 41.6%. They hit 9-18 three balls thanks to Hayes 4-7 and everyone was perfect at the FT line with the exception of AJ, who coincidentally took the fragrant foul by Shaq and was in there when the Pistons close the half on a 12-0 run.

Nice game to expose and slow down the SHAQ media train. Billups threaded the needle to perfection despite the egg size knot on his skull and Sheed having his personal battle with Stoudmire was 8-10 with 22 pts and 8 boards. Amare had 31 pts, but 9 of those came after Sheed had sat down and the game was over..yep he padded his stats in the end. Oh yeah Shaq was 1-8 at the FT line...no change there.


Hayes, Max and Amir were our bench stars today and all of our starters did their thing.. Just a total team effort to somewhat erase the 2-game slide out of the break.
