The Detroit Pistons displayed their championship pedigree. Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince made clutch shots in the final 80 seconds as the Pistons recovered after blowing a big lead to edge the 76ers, 99-95, for their fifth straight win. "This is the fourth (game) in five nights and it feels like it," Billups said. "Games like this and wins like this mean a lot. It's better than winning a game by 20 points, or 10-12 points. Winning a game like this just builds a lot of character and builds trust in everybody. This was a great win." Detroit coach Larry Brown said he could tell a lot of his players were running on empty. "We're fortunate we got a win," Brown said. "I don't know how, but we'll take it. I think under the circumstances, this was probably the most meaningful win for me as a coach, watching what these guys did. They could have packed it in."</div> <div align="center">Recap Box Score Post Game Notes</div> Well you can't say the Sixers didn't give 100%. We were down a bunch in the 4th quarter but we put up a fight and we did have a small lead for a short while. This loss really stings because if we would have pulled this game out , we would be tied for #1 in the AD. But like Allen said we're going to be back, we have two easy games up, against the Hornets and Bobcats, in my opinion both of those games should be won, without a problem.
Man, that was a great game and by watching it, I actually found out which team my heart is with. Yes, I am a pistons fans but I was rooting for my hometown 76ers.
Pretty good game. I loved Willies put back dunk but this still is another loss I think we could of easily won. On another note, Iverson. It seems like every game he falls to the floor in pain. Anyway, the 76ers have to stay alive and pick up some wins sooner or later or we can kiss the oh so sweet playoffs goodbye.
