Rasheed Wallace showed he knows how to use a technical foul call as motivation.


Wallace made three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and scored 17 points in the final 15 minutes after picking up a technical, and the Detroit Pistons rallied from 10 points down to beat San Antonio 89-77 on Tuesday night despite the return of Manu Ginobili to the Spurs' starting lineup.

"After the tech, he kind of took matters in his own hands, started being a lot more aggressive," Allen Iverson said. "It paid dividends for us."

But scoring wasn't the first thing on Wallace's mind in the second half. He was more concerned with how the game was being officiated -- tipping toward the Spurs, he thought.

"I knew what it was going to be out there, and I didn't want our team to fall into that," Wallace said. "We knew how it was going to be, especially going against the league darlings."

Wallace finished with 19 points and Iverson also scored 19 for Detroit (11-6), which has won two of three. Richard Hamilton added 16 points and Tayshaun Prince scored 15.

Rodney Stuckey came off the bench to score 10 points and had seven assists.

The Spurs (9-8) have dropped two straight after winning four in a row. They were led by Tim Duncan, who had 23 points, but just one point in the fourth quarter.

He wasn't the only one to have a letdown in the fourth quarter. San Antonio went 5-of-15 from the floor, and the Pistons converted the Spurs' six turnovers into 10 points.

"The most disturbing thing is that we were very soft," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "I think Detroit intimidated us. It was really sad to watch in that respect. I thought we totally folded to their aggressive play."

Ginobili scored 13 in his first start of the season after missing the first 12 games because of offseason ankle surgery. But he was 4-of-11 from the floor -- 1-of-4 in the fourth quarter.

"Ginobili is tough to guard," Pistons coach Michael Curry said. "We played him tough and gave ourselves a chance to win."

The Pistons, who trailed by 10 twice in the third quarter, finally pulled ahead when Wallace hit a 3-pointer almost four minutes into the fourth quarter. Wallace hit two more 3s in the fourth quarter as Detroit outscored the Spurs 28-14.

"We should have played that hard from the gate," Wallace said. "We wouldn't have been in that deficit. We're a resilient young team. Guys knuckled up in that second half."

Iverson trimmed the Spurs' 50-40 lead early in the third quarter down to 52-50 on a layup with 7:18 remaining in the period.

But San Antonio scored eight straight, capped by Bruce Bowen's 3-pointer with 3:14 left in the third, to go ahead 60-50 with 3:14 left in the third quarter.

Iverson's 3-pointer cut the Spurs' lead to one point, but Ginobili quickly hit his own 3-pointer. San Antonio clung to a 63-61 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

After starting the game 4-of-5 for a two-point lead, the Pistons went 1-of-7 during the next 5:22 and the Spurs held their largest lead of the first quarter at 16-10.

Iverson, who played the entire opening quarter for seven points on 3-of-5 shooting, got Detroit back on track with a 3-pointer to cut San Antonio's lead to 16-13 with 3:42 to go. But the Spurs led by five heading into the second quarter.

San Antonio led by as many as seven points in the second quarter before the Pistons scored 12 consecutive points during a stretch of 3:28. The run consisted of a pair of free throws and five straight layups. The last two were slam dunks by Jason Maxiell that gave Detroit a 31-26 lead with 7:10 left in the first half.

The Pistons shot 50 percent from the floor and were 6-of-11 from the 3-point line compared to the Spurs' 6-of-24. San Antonio shot 39 percent from the floor.

When it was time for Detroit to get back into the game or allow Philadelphia to even their playoff series, Chauncey Billups took over.


Billups made two clutch 3-pointers. He hit a nice fadeaway, and sank a couple of foul shots.

By the time Billups finished scoring 10 straight points for the Pistons in the final 3:05 of regulation, the 76ers' lead was gone -- and so might have been their shot at making this a long series.

Billups scored 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Rasheed Wallace hit a couple of 3-pointers in overtime and Detroit overcame an inspired effort by Allen Iverson to go up 3-1 in its first-round series with a 97-92 win over the Sixers on Sunday.

"It seemed like the tide was turning, nothing was really going good for us," Billups said. "I wasn't really making too many shots. I wanted to try. If I'm going to go down, I'm going to go down fighting.

"Shots just started going for me and we started to run a couple of plays for me."

The Pistons survived another scare from Philadelphia, and headed home with a chance to wrap up their playoff series. Game 5 is Tuesday in Detroit.

"The guys competed their guts out. They just got beat by the best team in the world," said Sixers coach Jim O'Brien.

After Billups carried the Pistons in a frantic finish to the fourth quarter, Wallace hit a decisive 3-pointer with 1:29 left in OT. Richard Hamilton hit a runner on the baseline with 14.5 seconds left, then sealed the win with a couple of free throws.

"Those were good shots from myself, Rip and Chauncey," Wallace said. "I'd take those shots any day."

Wallace's 3 came right after Chris Webber hit a 3-pointer and Iverson made two free throws, tying the game 90-all.

"He told me to come to him because he was feeling it," Hamilton said. "He knocked down a big shot for us."

Rasheed Wallace had 17 points and Ben Wallace added 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Pistons, who bounced back from a Game 3 loss Friday night.

Tayshaun Prince, who added 17 points, went down briefly at the end of the third quarter with a mildly sprained right ankle, but returned to the game. He was listed as day-to-day.

Iverson again did his best to carry the Sixers, scoring 36 points on 14-for-24 shooting with eight assists.

Webber added 23 points, including several key baskets in the third and fourth quarters. Samuel Dalembert had 15 rebounds.

Iverson did all he could in going over 30 points for the third time in the series, including a running halfcourt shot down the left side to end the first quarter and a jumper with 28.3 seconds left in regulation that gave the Sixers a short-lived 82-80 lead.

"I could feel bad, and I do, but I feel real good about our effort," Iverson said. "I feel real good about my teammates."

Billups answered Iverson's final 3 in regulation with a 3-pointer from the corner that gave the Pistons an 83-82 lead with 22 seconds left.

Billups, though, got a little too aggressive and fouled Willie Green, sending the 78 percent free throw shooter to the line with 3.1 seconds left. Green missed the first and hit the second to tie the game.

"I was just concentrating on trying to sink it, but, unfortunately, I came up short on a free throw that could have won the game for us," said Green, who left the game briefly in the second quarter to get eight stitches over his left eye.

Rasheed Wallace missed a long jumper after Green's free throw, and the game went into overtime.

The 76ers had a nine-point lead with just over 6 minutes left.

With the lead going back and forth late in the fourth quarter, normally reserved Sixers chairman Ed Snider started acting more like Dallas owner Mark Cuban, leaping from his courtside seat and waving his arms while protesting a non-call.

Iverson made his boss feel better with a 3-pointer, but Billups came right back down with a 3 of his own, pulling the Pistons to 80-76 with 2:59 left.

"I was just waiting to run the offense and then I decided to be aggressive," Billups said. "Guys were finding me and shots were going down."

Allen Iverson was trying to stay with his man on defense when he slammed full-force into Rasheed Wallace and went sprawling to the floor.

Picking himself up and shaking off the aftershocks, Iverson came downcourt on Philadelphia's next possession and used a quick dribble and deft stutter-step to drive the lane and draw two defenders, leaving Andre Iguodala open at the 3-point line.

Iverson flicked him a pass and Iguodala's shot went in, giving Iverson another of his 15 assists and putting the Sixers ahead by double digits midway through the fourth quarter of a 115-104 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.

"A.I. was phenomenal," said Pistons coach Larry Brown, who was apprehensive beforehand at the prospect of Iverson having a breakout game.

Turns out he had good reason to worry.

Iverson played one of the better playoff games of his nine-year career, scoring 37 points and handing out five of his 15 assists in the fourth quarter as the Sixers defeated the defending champions for the first time in their best-of-seven series, cutting Detroit's lead to 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday.

Iverson led the way as Philadelphia overcame an early 13-point deficit and then played its best ball in the fourth quarter.

Detroit center Ben Wallace scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, but the Pistons got only two points from their reserves on a night when they had another 50-percent shooting effort from the field -- the third time in the series they've made at least half their shots.

Despite that accuracy, the Pistons couldn't find a way to stop Iverson after holding him to 35-percent shooting in the first two games. He finished 15-for-26 from the field, including 2-for-4 from 3-point range, and his assists were one shy of his career-best.

"The same shots he took in Detroit and missed were the same shots he made tonight," Detroit's Richard Hamilton said. "Every game Allen comes out he plays with that demeanor. Since I've been in the league I've never played against him when he's said 'I'm just going to show up."

Chauncey Billups started as the primary defender on Iverson, and Hamilton took over the job later in the game. But even when the Pistons managed to get the ball out of Iverson's hands, he was able to find open teammates who were able to knock down shots.

Chris Webber scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, Rodney Rogers added 15 points, Samuel Dalembert had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Iguodala had 13 points and seven steals for Philadelphia, which shot 55 percent.

Before the game, Brown said his inside knowledge of Iverson's tendencies from their many seasons together were of no benefit.

"From a personal standpoint, when you know what someone like that is capable of, it's not a comfortable feeling," Brown said. "We all know what he does, and I haven't seen anybody stop him. The reason we've been successful is we've stopped other people."

Iverson's 15th assist came on a pass to Webber for a jumper that gave Philadelphia a 105-96 lead with 3:04 left, and Iverson sank a 3-pointer with 1:33 remaining to lock up the victory.

The game was Brown's first postseason appearance in the building where he coached Iverson for six seasons and took the Sixers to the NBA Finals in 2001 -- the year Iverson won the MVP award.

"That doesn't seem like a long time ago. Most of those games I really remember, and he had a remarkable year, but I still think this is his best one."

No game was more critical to Philadelphia than this one, and Iverson would not let the 76ers fall into a 3-0 deficit no NBA team has ever overcome. His 37 points eclipsed his career postseason average of 30.4, second in NBA history behind Michael Jordan's 33.4.

"This is one game. We've got to feed off it," Iverson said. "We didn't just play defense, we played offense, too."

Hamilton scored 24, Tayshaun Prince had 19 and Rasheed Wallace and Billups each scored 15 for Detroit.

Philadelphia fell behind by 13 points early in the second quarter, but Detroit's offense struggled when the starters were not on the floor, and Iverson had 17 points and six assists by halftime as the Sixers cut their deficit to 54-51.

The Pistons stayed ahead until Rogers hit a corner jumper with 3:41 left in the third quarter for a 72-72 tie, and Rogers added a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute of the quarter to help Philadelphia take an 80-78 lead into the fourth. The 76ers stayed ahead the rest of the way.
