Fantasy Player: Rodney Stuckey & Tayshaun Prince
This was a very hard choice in terms of who should be the Fantasy Player to have from the Pistons last night. But, I had to go with two, because both played out of this world last night. So congratulations to both Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince for winning top honors today.
A controversial call was the deciding factor in the Pistons' win over the Clippers. Allen Iverson drove the lane, and with a finger roll layup, the ball appeared to be going in, that was until LA Clippers' defensemen Al Thorton reached up and swatted the ball away. A goal-tending foul was called, and the Pistons took the lead 88-87 which would end the game.
Nonetheless, the Pistons are still rolling right along, now dropping seven in a row, and going for their eighth on Wendensday against the Trailblazers.

Some Other Game Notes:ย
- Antonio McDyess left the game in the second quarter after being hit in the hand. He suffered a dislocated pinky, but would return to play to grab 15 rebounds on the night.
"โI didnโt even want to look at it,โ McDyess said. โIt was just sitting onto the side of my hand.โ
"
- Kwame Brown reached up and grabbed 11 boards, passing his season high of 10.
- Allen Iverson had one of his worst shooting performances of his career only shooting 7-22 from the floor.
