The win gave Utah a season-series sweep of Detroit and almost as many wins against the Pistons (2) as the rest of the NBA combined (3). The Pistons (26-5), losers for just the second time in 13 games, had their 10-game home winning streak snapped.

Chauncey Billups scored 19 of his 24 points after halftime for Detroit, and Richard Hamilton added 18. Ben Wallace had 16 rebounds, but just four points.

Rookie Deron Williams had 14 points for Utah off the bench.

At Cleveland, LeBron James scored 35 points and shook off the effects of a hard fall as Cleveland rebounded from an awful loss by beating Milwaukee.

James landed with a thud under the basket on a drive late in the third quarter, but after having his left thigh treated by Cleveland’s trainers, the third-year star led a fourth-quarter push that gave the Cavs their ninth win in 11 games.

Drew Gooden added a season-high 17 rebounds and Donyell Marshall scored 14 points, including a crucial 3-pointer that put the Cavs ahead 89-80 with 3:05 remaining.

The Cavaliers are 2-1 without Larry Hughes, their second-leading scorer, who will miss at least six weeks following surgery to fix a broken finger.

Michael Redd scored 30 points to pace the Bucks, who have lost three straight for the first time this season. T.J. Ford came back after missing four games with a foot sprain to add 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists for Milwaukee.

At Phoenix, Shawn Marion and Steve Nash triggered a fourth-quarter surge to help Phoenix snap San Antonio’s five-game winning streak in a matchup of division leaders.

Marion scored 11 points in the fourth quarter to finish with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Nash scored 10 points in the fourth and had 22 points and 10 assists in the Suns’ seventh victory in eight games.
