AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)\u2014Chris Wilcox<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> threw down a one-handed dunk off a
\nmissed shot with 53 seconds left, and the Detroit Pistons<\/a> rallied from an
\n11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the New York Knicks<\/a> 99-95 on Friday
\nnight.<\/p>\n

After Wilcox\u2019s dunk gave Detroit a two-point lead, Carmelo Anthony<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> drove
\npast Tayshaun Prince<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> but Wilcox was there defensively to force a missed shot.
\nAfter Will Bynum<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> missed on the Pistons\u2019 next possession, Wilcox helped keep the
\nball alive, and Detroit came up with it. Bynum made two free throws with 11
\nseconds left for the final margin.<\/p>\n

Anthony felt he was fouled on his drive in the final minute. He finished
\nwith six points on 2 of 12 shooting.<\/p>\n

Wilcox finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds, one of six Pistons in double
\nfigures. Amare Stoudemire<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Toney Douglas<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 20 points apiece for New
\nYork.<\/p>\n

Detroit\u2019s Richard Hamilton<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> missed the game because of the death of his
\ngrandfather, and the Pistons started an odd lineup in his absence. Detroit\u2019s
\nbackcourt of 6-foot-8 Tracy McGrady<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and 6-11 Austin Daye<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was the tallest to
\nstart a game in the NBA since at least 1986-87, according to STATS, LLC.<\/p>\n

In the end, however, it was the Detroit bench that helped the Pistons rally.
\nExcept for Prince, who played the final 1:40, not a single Detroit starter
\nplayed in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Detroit trailed 81-70 early in the fourth before going on a 19-5 run.
\nCharlie Villanueva<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> made three 3-pointers during that stretch, and Bynum\u2014who
\nplayed the entire fourth quarter after sitting out the first three\u2014capped the
\nrun with a reverse layup and then a free throw moments later to put the Pistons
\nahead 89-86.<\/p>\n

The Knicks moved back ahead, but Detroit tied it when former Piston Chauncey
\nBillups<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> missed an outside shot for New York, and Rodney Stuckey<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> beat the Knicks
\ndown the court for a layup to tie it at 95.<\/p>\n

Detroit scored eight straight points early in the third quarter to take a
\n63-55 lead, but after Stoudemire and Prince traded baskets, the Knicks went on a
\n17-0 run. Billups scored the first seven points, then Stoudemire put New York
\nahead with a powerful one-handed dunk over Greg Monroe<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> while drawing a foul. The
\nthree-point play gave the Knicks a 67-65 lead.<\/p>\n

Douglas made a 3-pointer from the right corner, and Shawne Williams<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added a
\ndunk on a fast break to push the lead to seven. Douglas scored again before
\nDetroit finally scored with 1:30 left in the period when New York was called for
\na defensive 3-second violation and Ben Gordon<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> made the free throw.<\/p>\n

Notes: The Knicks shot 12 of 31 from 3-point range, a day after making a
\nteam-record 20 shots from beyond the arc in a win over Memphis. Douglas made
\nnine 3-pointers in that game. He made four against the Pistons. \u2026 Prince led
\nDetroit with 16 points.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
