NBA Scores: Chris Webber Tip-In Gives Detroit Pistons Win over Chicago Bulls
Chauncey Billups came up short on a last second shot but Chris Webber was there to tip in the miss with 2 seconds remaining and the Detroit Pistons (36-19) beat the Chicago Bulls (32-26) 95-93. Chicago had one more shot but Ben Gordon hit the rim on a three-point attempt and the Pistons escaped with the win.
Webber was huge on the glass late in the game, consistently bailing out his Pistons teammates with offensive boards and put backs.
Detroit had a chance to go up four with 15 seconds remaining but Tayshaun Prince missed both his free-throws and Ben Gordon answered with the tying bucket on the other end. Billups looked to end the game on a 16-foot jump shot but it was Webber’s tip-in that put the Pistons ahead.
The Pistons won despite shooting just 37 percent from the floor. Richard Hamilton finished with 22 points while Webber added 21 and 9 rebounds. Billups finished the afternoon game with 15 points and 9 assists.
Ben Gordon led the Bulls with 21 points.
