Stuckey nails game-winner as Pistons edge Wizards, 79-77
Rodney Stuckey scored half of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning 20-foot jumper with 0.2 seconds left as the offensively-challenged Detroit Pistons ended a five-game losing streak by erasing a 13-point deficit to beat the Washington Wizards, 79-77.
After Detroit’s Ben Wallace made one free throw, Washington’s Nene tied it at 77 on a hook shot with 5.8 seconds to go before Stuckey put the game away.
The Pistons managed to win, despite being held below 80 points for the third game in a row. The last time that happened to Detroit was in December 2003.
Greg Monroe, who played home games on the Wizards’ court while at Georgetown, had 10 points & 10 rebounds, including a putback off a miss by Tayshaun Prince with 23 seconds remaining to put Detroit ahead 76-75.
