Wallace, Pistons manhandle Mavs

Clank!

The Detroit Pistons held visiting Dallas to its worst game offensively this season and Rasheed Wallace scored 21 points and had 9 rebounds in a 90-67 victory Sunday.

The Mavericks had their lowest-scoring game while making a season-low 30 percent of their shots. Dallas missed 16 straight shots -- spanning 8½ minutes in the first and second quarters -- leading to scoring a season-low 38 points and shooting a season-worst 29 percent in the first half.

Nowitzki had 15 points on 3-of-18 shooting and 10 rebounds, Josh Howard scored 15, and reserve Brandon Bass added 14.

Lakers 103, Wizards 91: Driving and dunking and dropping in a 3-pointer, Kobe Bryant delivered a game's worth of highlights in the first quarter, outscoring the host Washington Wizards all by himself.

Then he let his Los Angeles Lakers teammates join the fun.

Bryant put up 19 points in the opening quarter on his way to finishing with 30, and the Lakers ran their offense so well there was no need for the newly acquired Pau Gasol to don a uniform in a victory over the Wizards.

"Just taking what they were going to give me," said Bryant, an efficient 10-for-15 on field goals.

Gasol, the 7-foot Spaniard who came over from the Memphis Grizzlies in a trade Friday, sat on the sideline in a pinstriped suit jacket, listening to tips on the Lakers' triangle offense from assistant coach Brian Shaw.
