Wallace helps Pistons hold off Raptors

Rasheed Wallace made up for a fourth-quarter technical foul by scoring 6 of his season-high 28 points late in the game, helping the Detroit Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors, 98-92, last night at Auburn Hills, Mich.

Detroit, which led, 76-73, after three periods, continued to hold the lead for most of the fourth before getting frustrated by the officiating, culminating in Wallace's technical foul. Anthony Parker's free throw pulled the Raptors within 85-84, and Andrea Bargnani followed with a 3-pointer to put Toronto ahead.

Wallace answered with a 3-point play to put Detroit back in front, and his 3-pointer with 2:45 remaining finished the Pistons' 10-point run.
