BLOCKBUSTER

Detroit acquired former NBA MVP Allen Iverson from Denver for All-Star point guard and former finals MVP Chauncey Billups, top reserve Antonio McDyess and project Cheikh Samb. The Pistons are hoping Iverson will play Wednesday at Toronto and, barring injury, his home debut will be Sunday night against the Boston Celtics.

WILD DAY

Hours after Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess were traded to Denver, the Pistons crushed their old coach's new team. Richard Hamilton scored 19 points and Detroit defeated Larry Brown's Charlotte Bobcats 101-83 to improve to 3-0. The beginning of Brown's reunion week — he visits New York on Wednesday, where he spent one ugly 23-win season in 2005-06 — was overshadowed by the Pistons' makeover.

PERFECT TIMING

LeBron James stepped up when the Cleveland Cavaliers needed him the most in a 100-81 victory at Dallas. James was only 8-of-20 from the field, but scored 29 points and took over during an impressive stretch at the end of the third quarter. Cleveland wasted a 16-point lead, then Daniel Gibson missed a jumper from the corner, only to see James zoom in, grab the rebound and bank it in, all in one motion. He followed with a three-point play and a pair of free throws.

WELCOME

Marcus Camby had five points and nine rebounds in his debut with the Los Angeles Clippers, who lost 89-73 to the Utah Jazz. Camby, acquired from Denver during the offseason, sat out the preseason and the first three games of the regular season with a bruised right heel.

BALANCED PERFORMANCE

The Philadelphia 76ers placed eight players in double figures in a 125-91 victory over the winless Sacramento Kings. Thaddeus Young scored 18 points, Lou Williams had 17 and Willie Green added 16. Elton Brand chipped in with 15 points, and Andre Miller and Donyell Marshall had 12 apiece. Andre Iguodala and Kareem Rush each scored 10.

SPEAKING

"Do we like the trade? Maybe not. Ain't no telling." — Detroit forward Rasheed Wallace after the Pistons acquired Allen Iverson from the Denver Nuggets for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb.
