- Share via
NEW YORK — Richard Hamilton scored 26 points, Rasheed Wallace had 23, and the Detroit Pistons beat the undermanned and overmatched New York Knicks, 105-79, Thursday night for their sixth consecutive victory.
With Antonio Davis suspended for going into the stands Wednesday in Chicago and leading scorer Stephon Marbury (shoulder) sidelined, the Knicks trailed by as many as 30 points and matched their biggest loss of the season. They have also lost four in a row.
Tayshaun Prince scored 18 points for the Pistons, who have won both meetings this season against Knick Coach Larry Brown, who led Detroit to NBA Finals appearances in both of his seasons with the Pistons, including the 2004 title.
Eddy Curry scored 26 points for New York.
