Richard Hamilton had 27 points and Rodney Stuckey added 24 as the host Detroit Pistons scored 11 consecutive points in the third quarter to pull away for a 102-92 victory over the stumbling Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
Hamilton and Stuckey combined for nine of 11 points in the third-quarter run, which turned a 55-55 tie into a 66-55 Pistons lead.
Hamilton started it with a fastbreak layup and he ended it with a 3-pointer. The Cavs went scoreless for more than three minutes during the run as the Pistons took control.
The Cavaliers tried climbing back in the fourth quarter, but shot just 6 of 22 in the quarter to lose their fourth straight.

Antawn Jamison had 22 points off the bench and Mo Williams had 14 points and 10 assists for the Cavalierss, who have lost consecutive games to last-place teams. Cleveland lost by 34 at Minnesota on Saturday.
