Richard Hamilton scored 17 points and Antonio McDyess and Rasheed Wallace added double-doubles, helping the Detroit Pistons beat the shorthanded Houston Rockets 94-82 Sunday night.
The Rockets started the night near full strength, but their two stars both left with injuries. Tracy McGrady didn’t come out for the second half after aggravating a sore knee, while Yao Ming missed most of the second half after needing four stitches to close a facial cut.
Detroit (20-7) has won five straight and 12 of 14, and joins Boston as the only teams with 20 victories. Houston has lost four of its last five.
