The AP reports: Walter Herrmann, always a fan favorite with his Fabio-like long, blond hair, had the Palace crowd chanting “Wal-ter Herr-mann!” as he scored 16 points off the bench to help the Pistons improve to 2-0 with a 117-109 victory over the Washington Wizards… Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace, both former Wizards, were the only Detroit starters to play well—combining for 41 points and 18 rebounds—but Herrmann and his fellow reserves helped out with 55 points… Antawn Jamison led Washington (0-2) with 24 points and Nick Young added 23… Kwame Brown, picked No. 1 overall by Washington in 2001, had eight points in eight minutes for the Pistons.
