    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">-- Antonio McDyess grinned in embarrassment and blew a kiss to the crowd, his first point as a member of the New York Knicks finally on the board almost 14 months after he fractured his kneecap in a preseason game.

    McDyess' point came from the foul line after he missed five shot attempts and a free throw, and he scored only one other point Monday night in a 79-78 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons.

    The former All-Star and Olympian finally appeared in a regular-season game almost a year and a half after the Knicks acquired him. He was warmly received but played tentatively, showing plenty of rust while shooting 0-for-5 with two turnovers and three rebounds in 13 minutes

    Chauncey Billups scored seven of his 24 points in overtime for the Pistons, who walked off with the win after Mehmet Okur blocked Michael Doleac's jumper just before the final buzzer.

    It was the third straight victory for the Pistons, one of only seven NBA teams who began the night with a winning road record.

    Okur added 14 points, Corliss Williamson scored 12 and Ben Wallace grabbed 14 rebounds.

    Allan Houston scored 20 for the Knicks but was not able to get off a final shot, losing control of the ball against the defense of Tayshaun Prince before recovering and finding Doleac for the last attempt

    Ugly game but Pistons got the win.Good to see Dice back on the court but as expected he looked rusty.
