The game was a blow-out from the opening minutes, as the Sixers defeated the Pistons by a final score of 107-84.  Philadelphia led by 22 points at the half.

Allen Iverson scored 39 points and had 10 assists while Andre Iguodala played 42 minutes and was in the game until the final buzzer, long enough to get 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and record the first triple-double by a rookie since Kirk Hinrich on Feb. 28, 2004.

``I knew I was playing a pretty good complete game,'' Iguodala said. ``I didn't think about it all until the fourth quarter.''

``Dre does it all for us,'' Iverson said. ``He doesn't come to the gym concentrating on one area. The scary thing is he's only a rookie.''

The loss was the second in so many days for the Pistons.

``We got in a big hole in the first quarter and you can't do that against this team,'' Pistons coach Gar Heard said. ``Once they get going, they are tough to beat.''
