A series of mistakes by Sacramento gave Detroit the 105-98 upset. "We just lost our focus," said Sacramento coach Bob. "Frankly, they were overmatched and they knew it. We did what we wanted for most of the game, but just blew it. What a tough way to go. You have to give them credit - they stuck around against a tougher opponent and were in position to take advantage when we gave them freebies."

Detroit was led by Delgado (20 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 3 blocks), Fox (22 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, a block), Graham (13 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, a steal, 3 blocks). Sacramento was led by Gilliam (49 points, a steal, 3 blocks), Brown (10 points, 17 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Bravo (6 points, 9 boards, 3 assists, a steal, a block).

Detroit improve to 42-13 with this win. They stay at #1 in the Central and stay at #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. Sacramento ended their winning streak at 12 games, and fall to 46-9 and 26-4 at home. They remain at #1 in the Pacific and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference.
