Richard Hamilton got off the bench, but the Pistons still lost 92-90 to the Bucks on Tuesday night.

Hamilton scored 10 points in 26 minutes, but missed his first four and final eight shot attempts.

"My shot felt terrible," he said. "It felt terrible. The good thing is that I was able to get to where I wanted to get to on the floor, but every bread and butter shot that I pride myself on I missed.

"I expect it," the guard added. "That was only my second game in almost two months. I didn't expect it was going to be great. I just told myself, talk to your legs."

Hamilton had missed 10 consecutive games since playing Feb. 5, but had a meeting recently to clear the air with coach John Kuester.

"He had some great looks," Kuester said. "Normally, he'll knock those shots down so I was very pleased with his energy. His approach to the game was outstanding, so we'll get him going."
