The Detroit Pistons have a three-game winning streak for the first time this season after a 103-89 victory Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Pistons are 3-1 since coach John Kuester moved Tracy McGrady to the starting point guard, Chris Wilcox to power forward, Rodney Stuckey to shooting guard and Greg Monroe to starting center. And, most notably, Kuester moved Richard Hamilton to the bench.

Stuckey had 20 points and six assists against the Mavericks and Monroe had 16 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Still, fans at The Palace of Auburn Hills chanted "We want Rip."
