Antonio McDyess had a game-high 21 points and 16 rebounds Monday night as the Pistons beat the Celtics 94-75 in Game 4 to even up the Eastern Conference finals at 2-all.
Richard Hamilton had 20 points on a crisp eight-of-10 shooting. Rasheed Wallace contributed 14 points, five boards and five blocks. Jason Maxiell came off the bench for 14 points and a highlight-reel block of Kevin Garnett.
The Pistons also held Boston to 31.8 percent shooting (21-of-66).
McDyess had eight points right off the bat to help stake Detroit to a 10-0 lead. By the time the quarter ended Detroit was ahead 22-17, and McDyess had already logged 11 points and five boards.
He would go on to hit a slew of big shots and grab a bunch of big boards the rest of the way, helping Detroit turn back every Boston run.
The teams will match up for game 5 at Boston on Wednesday, May 28 at 7:30 p.m.
