NBA: Pistons Handle Slumping Sixers

...ba href=/sleep/a/b and made open shots," Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said.

"Once we turned the ball over, they were into the break, somebody gets a wide-open three, and somebody gets one to the basket.

It was like they teased us a little bit and then they go up 16 or 17 points." McDyess made a jumper before reserve guard Lindsey Hunter drained a 3-pointer and stripped Iverson to go in for a layup.

Wallace sank another 3-pointer for an 85-68 bulge with 9:51 to go, and it remained at least nine points thereafter.

"That's my job and I have fun doing it," Hunter said.

"Thank goodness that I can still do it.

I got lucky on the steal on Allen.

As long as I create turmoil on the court, I'll keep doing it." Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince scored 16 points, Wallace added 14 and Hunter nine for the Pistons, who created dozens of extra possessions by grabbing 18 offensive rebounds and forcing 19 turnovers.

"The first half was our own undoing, with turnovers, offensive rebounds and then unforced turnovers," Cheeks said.

"The reason why they were leading at halftime was because of the offensive rebounds and turnovers.

At halftime we had nine turnovers for 16 points." Iverson scored 28 points and Webber added 23 for the Sixers, who shot 51 percent (35-of-69).

Including last year's first-round playoff series, they have lost 10 of their last 12 meetings with the Pistons.

Philadelphia is just 1 1/2 games in front of Chicago (31-40) for the East's final playoff berth.

The teams play twice next week.
