The Pistons, who entered Sunday leading the Eastern Conference standings by 2 12 games over Cleveland, became the first team in the conference this season to win 20 road games.

Hamilton made his first eight shots and was 10-for-12 from the field overall, helping Detroit beat the Clippers for the ninth straight time and 18th in the last 22 meetings. Antonio McDyess scored 17 points and Chris Webber had 19 points and 11 rebounds. Wallace was suspended without pay for receiving his 16th technical foul of the season from referee Bob Delaney during Friday night's victory at' Denver. Players and coaches are allowed 15 technicals before the automatic suspensions kicks in. Every other technical after that also will result in a one-game ban.

Corey Maggette scored 19 points for the Clippers. Elton Brand, Who didn't play in the team's 92-74 loss to the Pistons on Feb. 2 because of back spasms, had 11 points and 12 re MLB 4 missed both of Miami's losses to the Clippers. Sidekick Dwyane Wade sat out one of them as well, the same day assistant coach Ron Rothstein began filling in for Riley. That same day, Miami forwards Antoine Walker and James Posey were deactivated over their failure to meet team body-fat standards.

Both Clippers wins over Boston came with Paul Pierce sidelined. They also beat Milwaukee without having to face Michael Redd, Chicago with Ben Wallace injured, Dallas with Josh Howard on the bench, and Houston without Tracy Mc-Grady a game that became much easier when Yao Ming broke his leg 6 minutes after the opening tip. Then there was the victory over Golden State on Jan. 17, the same day a blockbuster trade with Indiana left the Warriors with only seven healthy players. The Clippers also won games in which they dodged Peja Stojakovic, Baron Davis and Steve Francis.

On the negative side, Seattle beat them without Ray Allen, San Antonio without Tony Parker, Golden State without Jason Richardson, Utah without Andrei Kirilenko, Houston without McGrady, and Toronto without Chris Bosh. history. They thought it would be a three-day thing." Lee played catch a few days later and felt fine. When he tossed the ball on the sidelines the next day, however, the ache returned after about 20-30 throws and he was shut down again. "If I knew it would stay just like this, I could pitch," he said.

"But I'd most probably make it worse and that's just no good. I want to be able to concentrate on getting hitters out, not worry about my ab." Right-hander Fausto Carmona likely will take Lee's spot in the starting rotation, though veteran Paul Byrd or young Jeremy Sowers could be moved into the third spot. Sowers, who went 7-4 in 14 starts after being called up from the minors last June, is listed as the fourth starter. Byrd, 36, who was 10-9 with a 4.88 ERA a year ago, is No. 5.
