Detroit Pistons WiretapHamilton Rips Pistons For Loss
Hamilton scored a career-high 51 points but had little to celebrate after Jamal Crawford & Co. made all the right plays in the final minutes of the final three frames of the Knicks' 151-145 win. "It's tough, man, because we had more than one opportunity to win the game," Hamilton said. "But we just made boneheaded moves down the stretch. "We know late-game situations, we know how to win," he added. "But we pretty much let this one slip out the door tonight."

Every Net protested on the court after Rasheed Wallace and Carter bumped up against each other while Wallace was defending Carter's 18-footer, which clanked off the back rim. But after the game, Lawrence Frank and Jason Kidd went an extra step, blasting official Tom Washington, the referee who was the closest to the play. After referring to the whole crew as "the three blind mice," Kidd singled out Washington, saying, "Tom being a veteran referee, you'd expect him to have the (courage) to blow (the whistle) but I guess he lost his breath." "It's obviously a foul," said Frank. "I'm sure if it was looked over again they would say it's a foul. But the call wasn't made. It's a shame. It's a real shame."
