Pistons End Orlando's Streak

The Magic held an 8 game winning streak going into last night's matchup with Detroit. The Magic left the stadium with their streak no longer intact. The Magic had their seven-game win streak snapped, dropping them to 11-4 on the road. Orlando's big man, Dwight Howard, scored 18 points while bringing in 18 rebounds and 3 blocks. Rashard Lewis led all scorers in the game with 23 points.
Rookie Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons with 19 points along with Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince who scored 16 points each. Detroit's Rodney Stuckey has averaged 21.4 points in his last five games. Allen Iverson had 15 points, which he considers not to be a good game for himself.

"I'm not used to seeing myself with 15 points and knowing that I had a good game," he said. "Before, even if I only had 20 points, I didn't think I was doing my job."

The Pistons have won four straight games and eight of nine against the Magic. Detroit now holds an 18-11 record, which is the 5th best record in the East. The Orlando Magic have the 3rd best record in East, 24-7, just behind Boston and Cleveland.
