    AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) - Tayshaun Prince gave theDetroit Pistons a lift on both ends of the court Friday.

    With a double-digit lead slipping away in the third quarter,Prince brought his defense and offense to help the Pistons posta 91-81 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.


    It was Detroit's third consecutive triumph over Atlanta, whichhasn't won in "Motown" since an 88-72 victory on December 10,2004 - a span of seven straight trips.


    "It's always tough to play a team three times early, and thelast time you played them you beat them pretty good," Pistonscoach Flip Saunders said. "We were hurting a little bit as faras energy at some points but (Antonio McDyess) had a great game,and I thought Tay played well. We got a win. That's what'simportant right now."


    Chauncey Billups scored 23 points, including 13 in the fourthquarter, and Prince collected 17 points and 10 rebounds for thePistons.


    Joe Johnson led Atlanta's attack with 23 points despite thestellar defensive pressure by Prince.


    "We played great defense," Prince said. "We had to because wehad a lot of turnovers coming out of the half. We weren'tgetting into our offense."


    Atlanta took a run at the Detroit in the third, cutting its14-point halftime deficit to 52-49 with six minutes left after asteal and layup by Anthony Johnson.


    After two missed two free throws by Johnson that would have cutthe lead to a single point, Jason Maxiell scored a basket andmade a pair from the line to put Detroit ahead 56-51.

    The Pistons finished the quarter with an 8-0 spurt, which wascapped by Prince's 3-pointer that forged a 64-53 edge headinginto the final quarter.


    Prince gave veteran backup guard Lindsey Hunter credit for thelate run in the third quarter.


    "Lindsey came into the game and he always brings energy andpushes the ball down the floor," Prince said. "Atlanta wentsmall, so Lindsey looked for me in the post."


    The Hawks never got closer than seven points in the fourthquarter.


    "I think we lost the game in the first half," Johnson said. "Wecame out sluggish and slow. In the second half, we picked itup and got back in the game. Then at the end of the thirdquarter, coach subbed, (the Pistons) went back up by 11 and wenever recovered. That was tough going into the fourth down 11because we spent so much energy getting back into it."

    Hawks coach Mike Woodson said that he felt his starters weregetting tired when he made the substitutions with two minutesleft in the third quarter.


    "Our bench was a little lackluster," Woodson said. "It's beenpretty solid all year."
