AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Ben Wallace had 21 points and 18 rebounds, and the Detroit Pistons cut its magic number to clinch the Central Division title to four with a 105-93 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
Detroit has won four straight and leads second-place Chicago by five games. It was Larry Brown's 101st win as Pistons coach, breaking Rick Carlisle's team record of 100 over his first two season with Detroit.
The Wizards have lost three in a row and had a three-game road winning streak snapped. Washington was missing Antawn Jamison (knee), who sat out one day after scoring 30 points in his return from the injured list.
