The Detroit Pistons routed the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night, 100-77, to advance into the second round of the NBA playoffs.

Richard Hamilton posted 24 points and 5 assists and Chauncey Billups tallied 20 points and 7 dimes for the Pistons, who hit 58% of their shot attempts and outrebounded Philadelphia by five.

Detroit did turn the ball over five more times in the win, but their three-point shooting (9-for-16) helped make up for any of their shortcomings.

Andre Iguodala had 16 points and 4 rebounds and Samuel Dalembert added 8 points and 6 boards for the Sixers in the loss. Philadelphia made just 33% of their shots, while going 3-for-13 from beyond the arc.

The 76ers did attempt twenty more foul shots than the Pistons, but they sank just 66% of them.

Detroit's swamping defense held Philadelphia down for the entire game, including a twelve-point first quarter. The Pistons posted the first ten points of the game and never looked back.

Detroit will host Game One of their semifinal playoff series against Orlando on Saturday.
