In Auburn Hills, Michigan, Tayshaun Prince's short jumper with 24.5 seconds left put Detroit ahead and his two free throws sealed the Detroit's fifth straight victory.
Richard Hamilton scored 25 points for the Pistons, who have won 12 of 16 since falling to .500 on Dec. 11.
Allen Iverson had 28 points and 13 assists, tying a season high, for the 76ers.
Denver Nuggets forward Nene and Minnesota Timberwolves center Michael Olowokandi were each suspended four games by the NBA on Saturday for fighting.
The two squared off late in the third quarter of the Timberwolves' 93-83 victory in Denver on Friday.
Olowokandi bumped Nene twice as they fought for a rebound at Minnesota's end, then Nene pushed him away. Olowokandi followed by pushing Nene in the face, and the Brazilian charged in throwing punches, landing one to the side of Olowokandi's head.
