Hamilton Scores 25 as Pistons Earn Split

Richard Hamilton (25 points) and Chauncey Billups (19 points, seven assists) led a well-balanced attack as Detroit beat Boston 103-97, handing the Celtics their first home loss in this year's playoffs. The Pistons have won nine straight game twos but they also have a tendency to become complacent when they seem to have the advantage in a series so don't be shocked if Boston wins game three in Detroit.
