AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Richard Hamilton scored 10 first-half points and the Detroit Pistons beat the Toronto Raptors 100-84 on Wednesday night in a glorified exhibition game for both teams.

Neither team had anything to play for – the Pistons are locked into the Eastern Conference’s top seed and the Raptors will be No. 3 – but Detroit coach Flip Saunders didn’t want a repeat of his team’s feeble loss to Philadelphia.

So, while Chris Bosh and Anthony Parker spent the night in street clothes, Detroit played their normal rotation until the game got out of hand.

Unfortunately for the Raptors, Morris Peterson was still on the floor in the final two minutes when he appeared to hyperextend his right knee. He limped off the floor, and was helped back to the locker room.

Hamilton, who finished with 12 points, was the only Piston starter to reach double figures, but four reserves scored 10 or more points, led by Flip Murray’s 16.

Rookie Uros Slokar, who came into the game with 20 career points, led Toronto with 18, while Peterson had 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Detroit led 23-18 at the end of one quarter, but turned the game into a laugher by outscoring the Raptors 38-19 in the second quarter. Ten of Detroit’s 12 players scored in the half, with Chauncey Billups and Nazr Mohammed the only players kept off the scoresheet.

The Pistons outshot Toronto 61 percent to 34 percent in the half, and had 21 assists to just eight for the Raptors.

Billups ended his shutout by scoring the first points of the third quarter, boosting Detroit’s lead to 63-37.

The Raptors made a minor run, cutting the margin to 65-50, but Detroit moved the advantage back to 77-56 at quarter’s end and cruised to the meaningless victory.

Tayshaun Prince led Detroit’s starters with 25 minutes – only eight in the second half – but Peterson played 38 minutes in his home state for Toronto.

NOTES: Detroit finishes the regular season Wednesday at Boston while the Raptors are home against Philadelphia. … Both teams were paying almost as much attention to the Orlando-Washington score as to their own, since that game would help decide both Detroit and Toronto’s first-round matchup. … The Raptors have lost seven straight games at the Palace.
