Pistons win 115-111, a slightly deceptive final score--Pistons had a commanding lead right near the end, but the Wizards went nuts and scored 11 pts in the last minute on a flurry of desperation threes. The first quarter had no defense from anyone, ending with a 35-34 Wizards lead. Pistons bench played great in the second quarter, and the dreadful Wiz bench had them down double digits, but their starters led a comeback in the last 2 minutes to make it close at the half. Then the Wizards fell apart for most of the second half, as the Pistons pulled away with better D and efficient offense.

Pistons had a remarkable night from the FT and 3-pt lines: 11-24 on threes, and 36-40 on FTs! Half of that was Chauncey, 18-19 from the stripe. Tay had a good game, 21 pts on 8-14 from the floor. Rip had 18 on 8-16 from the floor--he missed a lot of Js, but he was great in transition, with at least half his buckets coming on the break. Sheed didn't have a very good game, but Dice was solid off the bench. Wizards had 17 turnovers, as opposed to only 9 for the Pistons.

6 game winning streak! And 4 victories in 5 nights. Not bad at all. Pistons get 4 nights off now, before heading to Miami next Thursday.
