CHARLOTTE (AP) --
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Gerald Wallace had 29 points and 12
rebounds in his return after missing a game with severe headaches,
leading the Charlotte Bobcats to an 88-76 victory over the
undermanned Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night to snap a three-game
losing streak.
Stephen Jackson added 13 points despite playing with a sore back
for the sharp-shooting Bobcats, who held a comfortable lead over
the final three quarters.
The Pistons lost their fifth straight as they again had 52
points a game in street clothes, with Richard Hamilton (hamstring),
Tayshaun Prince (back) and Ben Gordon (ankle) sidelined.
Gordon was the closest to returning, but it was determined
before tipoff he'd miss an eighth straight game.
Rodney Stuckey scored 20 points for Detroit, which shot 38
percent.
