Warriors-Pistons Preview

The Detroit Pistons haven't had their top two returning scorers on the floor for most of this season, and they were without two of their more reliable threats of 2009-10 in their last game.

That hasn't stopped the short-handed Pistons from playing their best basketball of the season.

With the statuses of those four players unknown, Detroit will try to record its fifth consecutive victory Saturday night when it hosts the Golden State Warriors.

Tayshaun Prince has been out with ruptured disc in his back since the beginning of November, and Richard Hamilton has appeared in just one game because of an ailing right ankle.

A left ankle injury has kept Ben Gordon out for four of the past seven games, including the last two, and Will Bynum missed Thursday night's 101-99 victory over visiting Denver with a pair of hurt ankles.

In place of his injured teammates, Rodney Stuckey has stepped in to average 24.0 points during the Pistons' four consecutive victories, scoring at least 25 in the past three.

Charlie Villanueva led the team with 27 points against the Northwest Division-leading Nuggets on Thursday.

"We had confidence," Villanueva told the team's official Web site. "We've been battling all year round (short-handed), so guys in here believed that we could win this game."

Despite their problems staying healthy, the Pistons (10-12) have improbably boosted their scoring average to 98.5 during their win streak after averaging 90.6 while losing eight of nine from Nov. 15-Dec. 2. They also topped 100 points for the fourth time this season Thursday.

"I'm just glad that we're weathering some of these storms," said coach John Kuester, whose team has also won four straight at The Palace of Auburn Hills. "I guess that's the best way of saying it."

Kuester's team will try to continue its offensive surge by taking advantage of the NBA's worst defense.

The Warriors have allowed 111.8 points per game this season, but they've held back-to-back opponents to fewer than 100 points for the first time this season. However, those teams - New Jersey and Chicago - are two of the league's lowest-scoring clubs.

One of the league's best offenses with 107.8 points per game, Golden State (7-15) was also held to fewer than 100 points for the sixth time this season in Friday night's 96-91 overtime loss to the Bulls - its fifth defeat in six games.

"We just made some mental mistakes late in the end and didn't execute well and that was the difference," guard Corey Maggette said. "You've got to execute down the stretch on the road."

The Warriors could struggle again against the Pistons, one of the league's best defenses (95.1 ppg). They've averaged 96.0 points on 40.6 percent shooting while losing their last four against Detroit.

Like the Pistons, the Warriors have been short-handed for much of this season. Only eight players were active for the last two games, and coach Don Nelson is home in California recovering from pneumonia with Keith Smart leading the team in his place.

Monta Ellis tried to carry the Warriors by averaging 31.0 points over a nine-game stretch, but he's fallen off that pace in the past two with 18 and 27 points, respectively.

Detroit has won 21 of 28 over Golden State since 1995-96 and 13 of 14 at home with its only loss coming March 5, 2007.

Hamilton's unexpected return lifts Pistons to fifth straight

AUBURN HILLS, Mich - (NBA.com exclusive) -- Richard Hamilton's wife, T.J., deserved an assist for helping the Detroit Pistons stretch their winning streak to five games.

She gave her husband some tough love and convinced him it was time to get back on the court. Hamilton had missed 21 consecutive games with a severely sprained right ankle and had not gone through a full practice since the injury. He scored 18 points in his unexpected return to lift the Pistons past reeling Golden State, 104-95, Saturday night.

After the morning shoot around, Hamilton had no intention of playing until he went home.

"I talked to my wife and the one thing she told me pretty much was 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Go out there and give it a try,'" said Hamilton, who played 37 minutes. "I hadn't practiced, I hadn't run or done any sprints but when I lay down for my nap I said, 'You know what, I'm going to make up my mind right now and go ahead and play.'"

Hamilton texted coach John Kuester three hours before the game and told him the good news. His presence in the lineup allowed the still shorthanded Pistons to compete with Golden State's array of quick guards. Backcourt partner Rodney Stuckey overcame a season-high seven turnovers by using his size and strength to overpower Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry while scoring 29 points.

The Pistons' other healthy guard, Chucky Atkins, held Ellis to four fourth-quarter points. Ellis finished with 29 but 17 came before halftime.

Golden State, which lost in overtime to Chicago Friday, has dropped six of its last seven. The Warriors started strong but shot just 40.5 percent after the break. They scored 12 points in the third, shooting 5 of 19. All but two of those misses were at least 18 feet from the basket.

Fighting fatigue is always a problem with a back-to-back.

"I think that we hit a little wall coming out in that second half and we had to play a little bit of catch-up," Warriors acting coach Keith Smart said. "Once we got down, it was taxing to get back into it. We played a pretty aggressive fourth quarter but we just didn't make enough shots."

Smart's club forced the Pistons into a season-high 23 turnovers, leading to 27 points, but the undersized Warriors had difficulty running their half-court sets.

"In the first half, they shot 55 percent from the field and we're better than that," said Charlie Villanueva, who had 24 points off the bench. "We definitely showed it in the third quarter."

Though the Pistons were still missing Ben Gordon, Will Bynum and Tayshaun Prince because on injuries, their immediate future looks much brighter with Hamilton in uniform. He got better as the game went along, scoring 14 in the second half.

"I was just happy to be out there on the floor," he said. "I didn't care what anything felt like. I just felt joy, being able to play something that you love. ... I knew I was going to be rusty. I knew from not playing, I was not going to have a rhythm, the timing's going to be off and things like that. But I just felt if I can get out there and run and my wind is cool, I'll figure it out."

Hamilton's stroke looked smooth in the late going after the Warriors pulled within two, 85-83. He drained a 3-pointer from the right side, then made a steal at the other end and converted a bank shot in transition.

A couple of pull-up jumpers by Stuckey stretched Detroit's advantage to seven and Villanueva put back his own miss to make a nine-point spread, 96-87.

Rebounding was again a major factor for the Pistons, who entered the game second league-wide in rebounding percentage. The Warriors stayed even with them in that category in the first half but the Pistons out-rebounded them by 14 in the second.

With a depleted frontcourt, Golden State simply couldn't stave off the Pistons' active big men.

"It is tough," Curry said. "At one point, we had two point guards, a shooting guard and two threes out on the floor."

Pistons coach John Kuester has been constantly juggling his rotation, as well, because of injuries. There should be more stability with his opening-day backcourt finally back together.

We're getting our soldiers healthy little by little," Villanueva said. "It's a good sign."
