The Miami Heat knew that Richard Hamilton’s return would help the Detroit Pistons’ offense.
They weren’t expecting him to boost Detroit’s defense as well, leading the Pistons to a 94-88 victory over the Heat on Sunday.
“Rip Hamilton basically turned the game around with his pressure and his defense,” Miami coach Pat Riley said. “That got them aggressive.”
Hamilton, who had missed four games with a concussion and the flu, scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half and limited Miami’s Jason Williams to eight points after he had scored 13 in the first half.
