AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Tayshaun Prince led the way with 25 points Wednesday and Detroit sailed past the struggling Toronto Raptors 95-76.

Toronto has lost seven in a row, its worst such streak of the year.

Detroit won for the second straight time after a five-game skid. Rodney Stuckey contributed 17 points and seven assists.

Amir Johnson, who moved into the starting lineup for Richard Hamilton in a coach's decision, scored only two points and picked up three fouls. Hamilton came off the bench to score seven points.

Toronto, which has also had two five-game losing streaks this year, got 19 points from Chris Bosh.

The Pistons used a 7-0 run during the third period to take a 76-62 advantage going into the final quarter. Toronto has lost its last 11 games on Detroit's court.
