Turn back the clock! The Detroit Pistons have put on the type of defensive display last seen nearly 50 years ago.

The Pistons became the first team since the shot clock was implemented in 1954-55 to hold three consecutive opponents under 70 points with an 86-65 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on Sunday night.

``This is mind-boggling,'' Pistons coach Larry Brown said. ``The idea coming out here (to the West) late in the season with everybody that we're playing is fighting for the playoffs. It was good _ real good.''

Rasheed Wallace had 18 points for the Pistons, who won 97-66 at Denver and 83-68 in Portland in their two previous games. They're 7-3 since acquiring Wallace in a trade with Atlanta.

Ben Wallace had 12 points and 13 rebounds as Detroit won for the seventh time in eight games. Lindsey Hunter had six steals for the Pistons, and the Sonics committed 20 turnovers. Seattle's 65 points tied the franchise low.

``Defensively, we really got after it,'' Hunter said. ``Defensively, I don't remember being this good down a stretch in a long time.''

In other games, it was: Houston 101, Dallas 98; Toronto 84, New Orleans 76; New York 99, Washington 86; L.A. Lakers 94, New Jersey 88; Sacramento 107, Orlando 90; Boston 80, Minnesota 77; Memphis 95, Golden State 85; L.A. Clippers 91, Portland 71; and Indiana 103, Denver 94.

The Pistons limited the Sonics to just two baskets in the final 7:49 of the first half. They used a 16-4 run, including nine unanswered points to end the half with a 51-33 lead.

Detroit then put the Sonics away early in the third quarter by making the first three baskets, including a 3-pointer by Chauncey Billups. Rasheed Wallace wowed the fans with a one-handed dunk to give the Pistons a 58-33 lead 3:09 into the second half.

``That's a good defensive team,'' Sonics coach Nate McMillan said. ``They know how they can disrupt you and take you completely out of your offense. They got up on us from the start.''

The Sonics played without Ray Allen, who was sent home with the flu. Rashard Lewis had 16 points to lead Seattle, which shot just 39 percent (23-for-59).
