MIAMI, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Richard Hamilton scored 25 points Tuesday night to lead the unbeaten Detroit Pistons to an 81-69 preseason victory over the Miami Heat.
Chauncey Billups scored 11 points and Corliss Williamson added 10 for Detroit, which dominated on the way to extending its perfect preseason record to 7-0. The Pistons never trailed, led by as many as 26 points and had a 22-point edge after three quarters.
The Pistons play their final preseason game Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, Hamilton's former team.
Rasual Butler helped Miami to make the final score more respectable. The rookie from La Salle scored 15 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter.
Pistons forward Clifford Robinson fouled Butler with 5:53 left, then was ejected when he persistently protested the call.
