Pistons pip Suns
Associated Press
AUBURN HILLS Michigan Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 03 - 2008

Chauncey Billups scored nine of his 32 points in overtime, helping the Detroit Pistons beat the Phoenix Suns 110-105 on Monday.
Phoenix entered with a seven-game winning streak, but lost to the Pistons for the second time in a month. The Pistons were missing All-Star guard Richard Hamilton (hip) and backup Juan Dixon (calf), which meant Lindsey Hunter played for the first time since Jan. 10 and had three points in 10 minutes.
Amare Stoudemire led Phoenix with 33 points.
Nets 106, Knicks 91, OT: At New York, Vince Carter scored 27 points, Richard Jefferson added 26 and the New Jersey Nets moved within one game of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
New Jersey beat its cross-Hudson rivals for the first time this season after three losses. Nenad Krstic added 22 points for the Nets, who are a half-game ahead of Indiana (29-41) and one game behind Atlanta (30-39) in the conference standings.
Jamal Crawford led the Knicks with 26 points.
76ers 95, Celtics 90: At Boston, Andre Iguodala scored 28 points, including 10 in a row during a 19-0 fourth-quarter run as Philadelphia rallied from an 11-point deficit to beat Boston.
Eddie House's 3-pointer gave Boston an 80-69 lead with 8:20 to play, but the Celtics couldn't score until Paul Pierce hit one of two free throws with 1:38 left. By that time, the Sixers were on their way to their ninth victory in 11 games and their 18th in 23 tries.
Kevin Garnett scored 18 for Boston, which lost its second straight game after winning 14 out of 15.
Heat 78, Bucks 73: At Miami, Chris Quinn, filling in for an injured Jason Williams, scored a career-high 24 points to lead Miami past Milwaukee.
Quinn was a late insertion into the starting lineup for Williams, who'll be sidelined a week with a right thumb injury that required a hard cast.
Rockets 108, Kings 100: At Houston, Rafer Alston scored 28 points and Tracy McGrady added 17 as Houston beat Sacramento to give coach Rick Adelman his 800th career victory.
Elsewhere it was: Nuggets 120, Grizzlies 106; SuperSonics 97, Trail Blazers 84; Lakers 123, Warriors 119, OT. __
