Pistons Even Series With Game 2 Rout

Posted Apr 23, 08 10:32 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Rasheed Wallace had another good game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unlike the series opener, a few Detroit Pistons starters helped him out. Wallace scored 11 of his 16 points in the first quarter and Detroit went on to beat Philadelphia 105-88 in Game 2 on Wednesday night to even the first-round series.

The Pistons had four scorers in double figures as they took a 17-point halftime lead, while the 76ers had only Andre Miller, who scored 11 of his 14 points in the first half. In their 90-86 Game 1 loss, the Pistons blew a 15-point they built midway through the third quarter. Detroit refused to let the young Sixers rally this time.
