CHARLOTTE — Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace are blending in nicely in Detroit, even if Webber doesn’t know all the plays.

Webber scored 19 points and carried the Pistons through a sluggish first half, while Wallace scored 11 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter as Detroit salvaged a season series split with Charlotte with a 103-92 win over the Bobcats on Wednesday night.

Richard Hamilton scored 22 points for the Pistons, who shot 52 percent in winning their third straight game.

It’s what the Pistons envisioned when they signed Webber after Philadelphia bought out his contract. In his fourth game with Detroit, Webber shot 7-for-9 and grabbed six rebounds, despite still learning the playbook.

“I know 80 percent of the plays,” Webber said. “Sometimes I forget the name with the play because it’s different, but I don’t think there’s not much more to catch up on. I feel a lot more comfortable out there.”

His 19 points were his most since joining the Pistons, eclipsing the 16 he scored at Minnesota last week.

The Bobcats were missing five players to injury, four of them big men, yet still outrebounded Detroit 42-31. Primoz Brezec (back), Othella Harrington (knee), Jake Voskuhl (illness) and Melvin Ely (illness) joined point guard Brevin Knight (abdominal surgery) in street clothes.
