Iverson, Wallace lead Pistons past Spurs
Basketball Betting Lines
12/03/2008 -
San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Allen Iverson and Rasheed Wallace scored 19
points apiece to lead the Detroit Pistons in an 89-77 comeback victory over
the San Antonio Spurs.
Richard Hamilton scored 16 points for the Pistons, who have won three of four
contests. Tayshaun Prince chipped in 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists
in the win.
Tim Duncan scored 23 points and hauled in 13 boards for the Spurs, who have
dropped two straight on the heels of a four-game win streak. Tony Parker added
18 points and Manu Ginobili, who returned to the starting lineup for the first
time since offseason ankle surgery, 13 in defeat.
Trailing by three early on in the fourth quarter, Iverson's pull-up jumper
sparked a game-changing 18-4 Detroit spurt that gave the Pistons an 81-70
lead.
"We felt we did some good things in the first half but we just buckled down
and did those things even better in the second half," said Iverson. "We just
executed our game plan better. We wanted to play more aggressively."
Wallace had a pair of threes on the surge, including the trey that closed it
out with 3:03 showing on the clock. Iverson had four points, and Rodney
Stuckey also accounted for four on the burst.
The home team failed to pull within eight points down the stretch.
"This has got to be one of our worst games of the season," said Parker. "We
just didn't perform well. We can't afford to do that against a very good team
like Detroit."
The Spurs led 22-17 after the first quarter and held a 45-40 advantage at the
break.
Down by 10 late in the third, the Pistons used an 11-3 run to get within 63-61
heading into the final frame. Wallace had the first six points, Iverson had
a three and Stuckey closed it out with a layup.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
