Saunders didn't have much to be pleased about in Detroit's latest game, either. The Pistons, with leading scorer Richard Hamilton (17.7 ppg) resting for the fourth straight game, fell behind 57-34 at halftime on Wednesday (shld be Tuesday! stupid espn) to the last-place Knicks.
They eventually mounted a furious comeback in the fourth quarter but lost 98-94, snapping a five-game winning streak.
With their playoff seed locked down, Saunders chose to concentrate on the late rally rather than the early deficit.
"The group that went in there, they played their butts off in the fourth quarter, they gave us a chance," Saunders said. "It's easy when you're down 25 or 27 to just roll it in. Those guys didn't, they fought back."
With Hamilton resting, and regulars like Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace playing limited minutes, rookie Rodney Stuckey has looked impressive. He's averaging 18.0 points over his last four games.
