TORONTO, ONT (AP) -- Richard Hamilton scored a season-high 35 points, Rodney Stuckey had 21 and the Detroit Pistons beat Toronto 115-93 on Wednesday night, snapping a five-game losing streak against the Raptors.

The Pistons fell one point shy of matching a season high and ended an eight-game road skid, winning away from home for the first time since Nov. 14 at Sacramento.

Charlie Villanueva had 18 points and former Raptor Tracy McGrady scored a season-high 17 to help the Pistons win for the third time in four games since blowing a 25-point lead to Toronto.

The Raptors trailed by 25 points in the third quarter of a Dec. 11 game at Detroit, but rallied to win 120-116 for the biggest turnaround in team history.
