"For all the consternation about the lack of cohesiveness of shooting guards Ben Gordon and Rip Hamilton, there are signs the two are growing more comfortable.

The Pistons' backcourt of Gordon, Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey combined for 68 points in their 109-101 overtime victory over the Spurs on Sunday.

Add that to the performance the trio put together down the stretch in a victory at Milwaukee before the All-Star break, and you see there might be something to claims Hamilton and Gordon just needed time together after injuries marred most of the first half of the season.

Gordon, who scored 21 points Sunday, was asked about Stuckey's 20-point night when he touched upon his chemistry with Hamilton, who scored 27."
