Billups haunts Pistons, keys Nuggets win (AP)

Chauncey Billups helped the Detroit Pistons become an Eastern Conference power and win the 2004 NBA title by making a lot of big shots. He beat his former team with a sweet stroke that looked familiar. Billups made 3-pointers on three straight possessions late in the game and finished with 26 points, lifting the Denver Nuggets to a 109-100 win over the Pistons on Wednesday night.
