Billups leads Pistons past Bucks
Basketball Betting Lines
02/21/2007 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chauncey Billups scored 19 points, as the
Detroit Pistons held on for an 84-83 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Milwaukee's Mo Williams missed a driving layup in the final seconds of
regulation, and the Pistons slapped away the rebound to preserve the win.
Charlie Bell scored 22 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Bucks, who
fought back from a 15-point first-half deficit, but still fell for the fifth
straight game, and for the 15th time in 17 games. Michael Redd returned from a
knee injury and contributed 17 points, and Ruben Patterson added 18 points off
the bench for the Bucks.
Andrew Bogut scored 15 points for Milwaukee
Rasheed Wallace scored 16 points and pulled down 11 boards for the Pistons,
who have won eight of nine. Antonio McDyess added 15 points and seven boards
off the bench, and Richard Hamilton finished with 12 points and seven boards
for Detroit.
"It was ugly, but I'll take it," said Hamilton.
A Bell layup pulled the Bucks to within 84-83 with 34.7 ticks left, and a
Wallace airball on the ensuing possession gave Milwaukee a chance at the win.
Williams pushed his running shot hard off the backboard, though, and no one on
the Bucks could come up with the rebound in time to get off another shot
before the buzzer sounded.
"It was tough," said Bell of the loss. "It's just tough to keep losing this
way, on last-second shots."
The Bucks had finally scratched their way into the lead with a 14-6 run to
start the second half. A Redd trey kicked off the stretch, and a Bell layup
closed it, posting Milwaukee to a 54-53 lead with 7:04 left in the third.
The Bucks led, 64-63, entering the fourth quarter.
The Pistons stretched out an early lead with an 8-0 run midway through the
first quarter, capped by a Billups three that put Detroit ahead 16-6 with 6:46
left. The Pistons pushed their lead to 12 points later in the quarter, and led
28-18 entering the second.
Detroit's lead maxed out at 15 points late in the second quarter, at 47-32
with just 2:31 left, but a late Milwaukee run gave momentum to the home team
entering the break. The Bucks scored eight straight to close the first half,
five points from Bell, who sank a free throw with four seconds left that
pulled Milwaukee to within 47-40 at the intermission.
Game Notes

scored in double figures in 15 straight games...Detroit outrebounded the
