AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) The Detroit Pistons gained a bit of revenge for their loss in last season&#39;s N-B-A Finals by silencing the San Antonio Spurs 85-to-70.<br> <br> The Pistons held the Spurs to their lowest-scoring first quarter en route to their seventh straight win. Detroit had an 18-to-8 lead after the Spurs missed 13 of their final 14 shots of the opening period.<br> <br> Ben Wallace had ten points and a season-high 21 rebounds while Antonio McDyess (mik-DYS&#39;) came off the bench to add ten points and 13 boards. Chauncey Billups paced Detroit with 20 points despite 6-for-17 shooting.<br> <br> Tony Parker had 19 points and Tim Duncan added 18 and eleven rebounds. But the rest of the San Antonio starters combined for just 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
