AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 5 (UPI) -- Will Bynum's 32 points, four rebounds and seven assists Sunday led the Detroit Pistons' 104-97 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Bynum's career-high point total helped justify his replacing the disgruntled Allen Iverson, who complained about his lack of playing time before the team decided last week to sit him for the rest of the regular season because of back problems.

Charlotte led 69-68 after three periods, but Bynum's four free throws in the final 11 seconds secured Detroit's victory.

Tayshaun Prince scored 14 points, Richard Hamilton had 13 and Aaron Afflalo scored 12, while Rasheed Wallace finished with 12 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Pistons, who broke a three-game losing streak.

D.J. Augustin led Charlotte with 22 points. Raymond Felton scored 18 with three rebounds and five assists, and Emeka Okafor had 14 points and 16 rebounds in the Bobcats' third straight loss.
