Chauncey Billups scored 18 points, Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace had 15 apiece and the Detroit Pistons reminded Cleveland who's the boss in the NBA Central Division with a 90-78 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.
Billups added 10 assists, Wallace contributed 13 rebounds and the division-leading Pistons won their fifth straight regular-season game over the Cavaliers.
Cleveland pushed Detroit to the maximum seven games in last year's playoffs.
This Pistons' squad is very similar to the one that beat Cleveland last May with the big addition of Webber, who signed with the club as a free agent on Jan. 16 and was facing the Cavs for the first time for his hometown team.
Webber scored 13 points in the first half on 6-of-7 shooting when the Pistons grabbed control and never let go.
LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 21 points, but the All-Star forward was only 9-of-22 from the field and had a few tough layups roll out.
Larry Hughes added 14 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 12 with 11 rebounds for Cleveland.
Hawks 101, Nets 99, OT
At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Tyronn Lue hit a 23-foot jumper at the buzzer for Atlanta to edge New Jersey in overtime and post its first three-game road winning streak since December 2000.
Joe Johnson scored 37 points and Josh Smith atoned for a sub-par game, scoring six of his 14 points in overtime to enable the Hawks to win their ninth road game this season and exceed their entire total last season.
Lue finished with nine points on 3-of-4 shooting from the field.
The game-winning shot came after Vince Carter hit a clutch 3-pointer to tie the game at 99 with 2.9 seconds to play.
Carter had 27 points, rookie Marcus Williams 18 and Jason Kidd added 13 points, 11 assists and five rebounds for the Nets.

Morris Peterson added 18 points for the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors.
Cuttino Mobley contributed 24 points and Elton Brand had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Clippers.
T.J. Ford, Anthony Parker and Jorge Garbajosa each added 17 points for the Raptors, who shot 58.7 percent. Toronto had six players reach double figures in scoring.
Toronto scored a season-high 66 points in the first half and shot 70 percent, tying a franchise record for shooting percentage in a half.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
