"Hamilton then hit a basket and Billups added two free throws with 26 seconds left before Miller missed a 3-pointer and left the game to a prolonged, standing ovation -- which the Pistons joined in -- as the crowd chanted ``Reg-gie, Reg-gie'' with 16 seconds to go.
At the end of the game, the chant changed to ``One more year.''
``It was definitely very emotional,'' Hamilton said. ``I don't think I've ever been in a game where a team that's about to move on and a guy comes out of the game and the other team is cheering.
``For a guy his age, the way he played tonight was unbelievable,'' Hamilton said.
As Miller left the court, he embraced players from both teams.
``I told him thanks. Everybody in the NBA should be saying thank you,'' Hamilton said."
