The Toronto Raptors lost 93-100 to the Detroit Pistons. American media jokingly said that Billups completed the most impressive defense against Allen Iverson: Due to the lack of results from Billups' physical examination after joining the Denver Nuggets, "The Answer" was unable to make his debut for the Pistons in yesterday's (Beijing time) game against the Raptors. However, with Prince scoring 27 points, the Pistons still won away, maintaining their undefeated season.
The New Orleans Hornets lost 79-87 to the Atlanta Hawks.
