After 11 NBA seasons, Richard Hamilton knows his days as an elite scorer are probably over.

He’s still capable of lighting things up on occasion, though.

Hamilton scored 12 of his 27 points in overtime in the Detroit Pistons’ 115-110 victory over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night.

“I still enjoy playing this game, and I’m always going to work hard out there,” said Hamilton, who came into the night averaging just 12.1 points. “When they need me, like they did tonight, I’m going to be ready.”
