Nov 23, 2007 - 3:55 PM Philadelphia (3-7) at Detroit (7-4) 8:00 pm ESTAUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- The Detroit Pistons have yet to lose at home, a streak they look to continue on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite playing just three of its first 11 games at home this season, the Pistons remained perfect here Wednesday with a 98-86 victory over the New York Knicks.
Chauncey Billups had season highs of 25 points and 15 assists for Detroit, which defeated former Pistons star and current Knicks coach Isiah Thomas.
The game marked the return of forward Antonio McDyess, who scored a season-high 20 points after missing three games with a strained left shoulder.
Tayshaun Prince had 13 points and Richard Hamilton added 12 points and eight assists for Detroit, which played the second half without Rasheed Wallace, who left because of a sore left knee.
The Sixers are 1-4 on the road this season and have lost five of their last six games overall. Philadelphia is coming off a 116-101 loss at Washington, a game the Sixers trailed by 37 points in the third quarter.
Detroit won three of its last four games against the Sixers, winning both games on the road.
