SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Rasheed Wallace scored 27 points and the Detroit Pistons again held the San Antonio Spurs to a season low in points, beating the defending NBA champions 83-68 on Thursday night.
The Pistons making their first visit to San Antonio since losing Game 7 of the NBA finals last June dominated from the start. They used accurate shooting and stingy defense to build a 20-point lead in the first half before the Spurs could get anything going.
San Antonio scored the first six points of the third quarter to trim Detroit's advantage to 48-42, but the Pistons outscored the Spurs 21-9 over the rest of the period to restore their lead to 69-51.
