If people were wondering why Joe Dumars sent Chauncey Billups to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson, look no further than Thursday night at Oracle Arena.

Iverson scored 23 points, while Rasheed Wallace hit back-to-back three pointers in the fourth quarter, as the Detroit Pistons came back to defeat the Golden State Warriors 107-102.

With the Pistons 92-90, Wallace hit a three-pointer to give the Pistons the lead for good, as they have won their first two games of their four-game road trip.

Wallace ended the night scoring 19 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, while Richard Hamilton led the Pistons with 24 points, while Tayshaun Pierce pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds.

Andris Biedrins notched his 16th consecutive double-double, as he scored 17 points and grabbed 19 rebounds.
