Rip Huge off the Bench
Rip Huge off the Bench
This time, the Detroit Pistons weren’t going to let a big lead slip away. And if anybody had doubts about Richard Hamilton's dedication to the game lately, he proved them all wrong.
Hamilton scored a season-high 35 points, Rodney Stuckey had 21 and the Pistons beat Toronto 115-93 snapping a five-game losing streak against the Raptors.
Charlie Villanueva had 18 points and former Raptors star Tracy McGrady scored a season-high 17 to help the Pistons win for the third time in four games since blowing a 25-point lead to Toronto.
The Pistons fell one point shy of matching a season high and ended an eight-game road skid, winning away from home for the first time since Nov. 14 at Sacramento.
Hamilton said the Pistons were intent on protecting their lead this time. Detroit led by 32 and easily sent the short-handed Raptors to their eighth loss in 10 games.
Yanked from the starting lineup before a victory Sunday over New Orleans, Hamilton had extra motivation for this one.

You can't keep him down! He will always come back big like he did against the Raptors
