 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - The Detroit Pistons made just enough shots and stops to advance to the Eastern Conference finals for a sixth straight year.
Richard Hamilton scored 19 of his 31 points in the first half, made victory-sealing free throws late in the game and Tayshaun Prince had a key block, helping Detroit hold off the Orlando Magic for a 91-86 win Tuesday night in Game 5 of the second-round series.
"Playing in six straight is awesome, but now we expect to do this," Hamilton said. "We're supposed to be here."
