Detroit fans rose to their feet for a former favorite, then had a reason to cheer the current Pistons, too. Chauncey Billups scored a season-high 34 points in his return to the Palace, but the Pistons came away with the 100-95 victory Tuesday night against the Carmelo Anthony-less Denver Nuggets. Tayshaun Prince scored 23 points for the Pistons and four of his teammates scored at least 16.
