SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 8 (Ticker) -- Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton helped the Detroit Pistons keep one zero on their record and eliminate another.

Prince scored 19 of his 25 points in the third quarter and Hamilton added 21 as the Pistons rolled to a 102-88 victory over the Sacramento Kings.

The win kept Detroit (4-0) as one of just two undefeated teams in the NBA - along with Washington - and ended an eight-game losing streak at Arco Arena.

Under new coach Flip Saunders' motion offense, the Pistons have averaged 102 points a game while still maintaining their defensive pressure. They have yet to allow more than 88 points in any of their contests.

"I told our players that the same aggressiveness on defense, we want to continue to play that way on offense to take advantage of open floor opportunities," Saunders said. "I watched a lot of film and thought (we) had a lot more offensive ability individually that we could mold into being more aggressive offensively as a team. We're scoring more but our defense hasn't suffered that much."

"It's been good, it allows guys to go out and make plays," Hamilton said of the new offensive scheme. "I think guys are really trying to get on the break and get easy baskets, which makes our half-court offense that much better."

Sacramento started out well in its home opener, building a 14-6 lead. However, Hamilton scored seven points during a 21-4 burst that gave the Pistons the lead for good.

"We didn't have any energy," said Kings guard Mike Bibby after a 5-of-13 night from the field that left his season shooting percentage below 35 percent. "They played harder than us. It seemed like they wanted the game more than us.

"It starts with me. I've got to get everyone going. We started strong and then died."

Prince sealed the victory with a remarkable third quarter when he made all seven shots from the field, including three 3-pointers. He scored seven of his points during a 13-2 run that gave Detroit an 81-65 lead in the waning seconds of the third period.

"In that situation, I'm gonna shoot until I miss," Prince said. "The other players advise you to do that. That's what happened in the third."

Peja Stojakovic, who scored 23 points in the third period against Phoenix on Sunday, was on the other end of the scoring barrage after he failed to provide any defensive pressure on the lanky Prince.

"I was very bad on both ends of the court," Stojakovic said. "(Prince) was unbelievable tonight."

As well as the Pistons have started with new coach Flip Saunders, the Kings (1-3) have struggled with their revamped lineup.

Newcomers Bonzi Wells and Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 16 and 14 points, respectively, but mainstay and 2004 All-Star Brad Miller had just eight points and five turnovers.

"I think we can play better, play a little tougher than we played, regardless of how long we've been together," Abdur-Rahim said. "We let them do what they wanted to do. As a team, we got pushed around."

Any hopes of a miraculous comeback faded quickly when Sacramento failed to score in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, allowing the Pistons to extend their lead to as many as 25 points. After Bibby ended the drought with a jumper, the Kings removed their starters for the final 6:20.

"We ran into a better team," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "They executed very well, they shot it very well."
