PREGAME
Pacers will win by 16 tonight. I will get too excited. Drummond will throw down two monster dunks on Hibbert. #predictions

Let’s see.
1ST QUARTER
Two good entry passes for Roy Hibbert. He's catching deep in lane or a foot in the paint & it turns into 4 early points
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 27, 2014
Stuckey didn't get a strong reaction from the fans one way or the other upon introduction
— Vincent Goodwill (@VinceGoodwill) December 27, 2014
Drummond allowing Hibbert to look like Tim Duncan on offense.
— Detroit Bad Boys ☠ (@detroitbadboys) December 27, 2014
Roy Hibbert going to work on Drummond already. He has 8 points and 2 boards.
— Michael Gallagher (@MikeSGallagher) December 27, 2014
Jennings curls a nice alley-oop pass to Drummond for a two-handed flush. #Pistons up 7.

End of the 1st quarter: Pistons 32, Pacers 26
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) December 27, 2014
Roy Hibbert leads Indiana with 8pts, and David West has 4pts/6rebs.
2ND QUARTER
I will drive as far as Temecula to fight the next "Pacers fan" that starts saying stupid things about George Hill.

Rodney Stuckey drives through the paint, and gets his first bucket of the game: DET 38, IND 37
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) December 27, 2014
Kinda weird how there's no reaction whatsoever to Rodney Stuckey. He just scored and not a smattering of boos or applause for the guy
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 27, 2014
Meeks doing his best Stuckey impression tonight. Really attacking lane.

Halftime at @ThePalace : Pistons 57, #Pacers 53
— Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) December 27, 2014
Hibbert: 10pts/3rebs
Stuckey: 9pts/4rebs
S. Hill: 7pts pic.twitter.com/vbmOpl1bRE
3RD QUARTER
Stuckey down and grabbing at his face (nose?) after taking the ball to the basket. In some pain. Play stopped.
— Keith Langlois (@Keith_Langlois) December 27, 2014
Stuckey being helped off the court and heading back to the locker room.

Ouch.
Who are you and what have you done with Roy Hibbert. Maybe get your parents to attend more games?
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) December 27, 2014
15 points so far.
Hibbert goes to the bench with 4 fouls. Game immediately gets out of hand, since you know, no backup center
— Pacer Nation! (@INPacerNation) December 27, 2014
Brandon Jennings with 14 points and 9 assists
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 27, 2014
Per #Pacers PR, Rodney Stuckey has a facial contusion and is out for the game.
— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) December 27, 2014
4TH QUARTER
Pistons up 15/with 101 and still 9/min left in game.
— Detroit Bad Boys ☠ (@detroitbadboys) December 27, 2014
Kind of weird that simply cutting Josh Smith turned the Pistons into the 2007 Phoenix Suns.
— Jon Washburn (@DeanOfMortgages) December 27, 2014
@grady Didn't show up early, DET got confidence, can't keep them out of the lane. Roy playing well, but foul trouble.
— Nilla Nillanovic (@JayNilla) December 27, 2014
crowd-heckling Roy Hibbert as he fouled out. 110-99 with 5:53 left
— Vincent Goodwill (@VinceGoodwill) December 27, 2014
Hack-a-Drummond working at the Palace, "I like the strategy, make them make foul shots" says @QuinnBuckner Drummond now replaced
— Jeremiah Johnson (@PacersJJ) December 27, 2014
Greg Monroe: 19 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block
— Justin Russo (@FlyByKnite) December 27, 2014
Andre Drummond: 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block
WELP.
The Josh Smith stimulus package.
Final: Pistons 119, Pacers 109
