Will Bynum dished 20 assists on Friday night as the Pistons defeated the Wizards 101-87 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Bynum had eight assists in the first quarter and decided that he was going to try to make the history books.

"At the end of the first quarter, I thought I had a chance to get Kevin Porter's [team] record of 25, but I don't think the coach and I had the same mindset," Bynum said after the game.

His 20 assists were the most by a Piston since Isiah Thomas had 21 against Washington on April 12, 1985.

"That means a lot to me," said Bynum. "I grew up watching Isiah play, and to do something that he did is huge."

Bynum saw increased minutes with Rodney Stuckey out.
