The Pistons powered into the second round of the playoffs by crushing Philadelphia 100-77, winning the series 4-2 and again demonstrating how good they are when they feel they need to be.
Richard Hamilton hit his first five shots during the Piston’s overpowering start and finished the game with 24 points, 13 in the decisive first quarter when he outscored the 76ers by himself. Chauncey Billups added 20 points and Tayshaun Prince had 12 points for the Pistons, who reached the second round for the seventh straight season.
Andre Iguodala scored 16 points and Andre Miller had another quiet game with 11 for the Sixers, who outplayed the heavily favored Pistons for the first 3 1/2 games of the series but never really had a chance after that.
The Pistons convincingly won the last two games of a series that wasn’t expected to last this long. The Pistons will host the Orlando Magic, who eliminated Toronto Raptors in five games, in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The teams split four meetings this season.
