AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)\u2014Richard Hamilton<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 23 points, and the
\nDetroit Pistons<\/a> held off the Indiana Pacers<\/a> 100-88 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Pistons went on a 21-3 run during the third quarter to take an 18-point
\nlead. The Pacers, who are fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference,
\ncut the lead to six in the fourth quarter, but Hamilton drove for an easy layup,
\nthen made a nice pass to Rodney Stuckey<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> for a layup to make it 90-80.<\/p>\n

Brandon Rush<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 19 points for the Pacers.<\/p>\n

Detroit\u2019s Charlie Villanueva<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> benched for the Pistons\u2019 loss to Cleveland on
\nFriday, didn\u2019t play until the fourth quarter Saturday, but he played that entire
\nperiod and made all five of his shots to finish with 13 points.<\/p>\n

Hamilton was benched earlier in the season, but he\u2019s been back in the lineup
\nlately and may have been the best player on the court Saturday. He shot 7 of 13
\nfrom the field and added six assists, although he also had five turnovers.
\nStuckey added 16 points, and Tayshaun Prince<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 13 for Detroit.<\/p>\n

Tyler Hansbrough<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 16 points for the Pacers, and Danny Granger<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\ncontributed 14. Indiana went 7 of 19 on free throws, including a pair of big
\nmisses by A.J. Price<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> with 1:54 remaining and the Pacers down by seven.<\/p>\n

The Pistons led 48-47 at halftime, and the game was tied at 53 when they
\nwent on their decisive run. Prince started it with a turnaround from 14 feet,
\nand his 3-pointer pushed the lead into double digits at 65-54. Austin Daye<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> gave
\nDetroit its largest lead with a 3-pointer from the right wing that made it
\n74-56.<\/p>\n

Indiana scored the next seven points, but Hamilton halted that run with a
\n3-pointer from the right corner.<\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s shot at the buzzer from near midcourt gave Detroit a 26-25 lead
\nafter the first quarter. Replays showed Hamilton was at least close to stepping
\non the sideline, but officials let the shot stand after a review.<\/p>\n

Notes: Former Pistons star John Salley sat in the front row. \u2026 Indiana G
\nMike Dunleavy<\/a> missed the game with a broken left thumb. Detroit G Tracy McGrady<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nsat out with a sore back, and C Ben Wallace<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was sidelined by a sore left knee.
\n\u2026 Price finished 1 of 6 on free throws. \u2026 The boys\u2019 basketball team from
\nFennville High School, which received national attention following the death of
\none of its players earlier this month, was in attendance and was given a warm
\novation during the second half.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
