Pistons won every quarter tonight and had an 8 pt halftime lead and a 10 pt 3rd qtr lead. well you know the story...Pistons were 32-3 when leading at the end of 3. They had a 2 pt lead on Sunday at the end of three, but unfortunately the Mavs stopped that magnificant accomplishment. Tonight there would be no repeat as the Pistons scored the first 14 pts of the qtr to put the game away.

Garbage time came early about the six minute mark with the Pistons leading 90-67. Pistons then play keep away and manage to score 6 points in six minutes with Delfino, Jmax and Blalock each getting a bucket.

Tay was the star of the game with 30 points, and has owned the sixers all season. Delfino was the star off the bench. Dice got some boards, but was shut out in the points department and steaming from an early tech.

Flip played 44 minutes, only took one bad shot and scored 12 with 7 assists. Rip got beat up again, and probably needs to get in the hot tub or ice tub after the game.

AI jr and Ashton Kolver were no shows and Willie Green who was an allstar in the first half with 16 pts and was shut down in the second with 4.

Positives: we stop the 3 game slide at home and the Cavs lose so the lead is extended back to 2.5. Cavs have 8 more road games to struggled thru so we should be able to still finish ahead of them. Pistons got to take at least 2 of the next 3 road games to keep them at bay.

Key stats: the same winning formula that punctuated the west coast trip; good defense holding the opposition under 80 pts, shooting above 50% themselves and out pointing the opposition in the paint 40-22
