Pistons Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Pistons got wiped out by the Boston Celtics in the first
meeting between the teams that played in last season's Eastern
Conference Finals. Boston spoiled Allen Iverson's home debut by
clobbering the Pistons 88-76 on Nov. 9 at The Palace. Less than two
weeks later, the Pistons look like an entirely different team.
The Pistons started to develop some chemistry with Iverson while
many people on the East Coast were already asleep. They went 3-1 on
their West Coast trip last week, including an 11-point win over the
previously-unbeaten Los Angeles Lakers.
On Wednesday, the Pistons ended the Cleveland Cavaliers'
eight-game winning streak.
