Rasheed Wallace played great as well adding 20 and nine rebounds. Milwaukee came within seven points with two minutes remaining, but Detroit made all eight of its free throws in the final 69 seconds to close out the Bucks.This was a big win for Detroit to take the 3-1 series lead. The Pistons won both games in Milwaukee and they should now be able to close out the series in game 5 at the Palace.
