    Richard Hamilton and the Detroit Pistons proved they know how to close out victories. Hamilton scored 20 of his 28 points in the second half, and Ben Wallace had 16 rebounds and seven points to lead Detroit to a 87-80 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.

    Tayshaun Prince added 15 points and Rasheed Wallace scored 10 points for the Pistons, who have won five of their last six games.

    Recap

    Maybe the Pistons are starting to turn things around, 5th win in 6 games and the only loss was to Miami in a game where they missed their last 13 shots which we know will likely never happen again. They should be on a 6 game winning streak right about now If It wasn't for them beating themselves in that 4th quarter.

    Yeah they are geling and now are on a role. They are 17-13 and they are in second place in their division. They will have no problem getting in the playoffs in they keep playing ball like we all know they can. But, only getting 87 aganist the Bulls (not saying that the Bulls are bad or anything it is just that they are as good as some of the harder teams that the Pistons will have to face later on in the Playoffs. Ben is going to keep putting up 16 reb. games because that really helps them out getting the fast-break going. IMO they will get to the playoffs no doubt.
