Webber's tip-in at buzzer lifts Pistons over Bulls

Basketball Betting Lines

02/25/2007 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard Hamilton poured in 22 points, but it was Chris Webber's tip-in with 2.2 seconds left in regulation that lifted Detroit over Chicago, 95-93, at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Webber, who finished with 21 points and nine rebounds, got a hold of the ball and scored the deciding basket after Chauncey Billups put up a jumper. With one last chance for the win, Ben Gordon missed a three-pointer from the left wing to end the game.

Billups ended with 15 points and dished out nine assists, while Tayshaun Prince added 14 points and grabbed nine boards for the Pistons, who have won four in a row.

The game marked the return of former Piston Ben Wallace to Detroit. Wallace, who spent the last six seasons in Detroit before joining Chicago this past offseason, helped the Pistons win the NBA title in 2004. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year, who was booed each time he touched the ball, finished with six points and eight rebounds.

Gordon netted 21 points and P.J. Brown had 19 points with 12 boards for the Bulls, who had a three-game winning streak halted. Luol Deng scored 18 points and grabbed eight boards, while Chris Duhon donated 12 points in defeat.

Deng's tip-in put Chicago on top 27-25 after one quarter of play. Midway through the second, Detroit went on a 9-2 spurt, highlighted by five points from Billups to go up by four with 4:20 left.

The Bulls, though, responded with a 13-1 burst, capped by Duhon's running jumper and led 53-45 at halftime.

Chicago continued to sizzle in the third, scoring 10 of the first 12 points in the frame for a 16-point advantage. Then, trailing by 14, the Pistons ripped off 12 straight points to close within two, 69-67 with 1:27 remaining.

A see-saw battle ensued in the fourth quarter until Webber broke an 83-83 contest with a hook shot with 5:24 to play. Prince's hook shot then gave the Pistons a seven-point edge with just under two minutes left.

However, the Bulls came right back and tied it at 93 on seven consecutive points by Gordon.

Game Notes

Chicago's Kirk Hinrich had six points and eight assists...Detroit shot 38 percent from the floor...The Bulls finished 48 percent shooting...The Pistons have won seven of nine and 16 of the last 19 in the series.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
