The Good

Hard to find a lot of good things to say about tonight’s game, but the beginning of the third quarter trailing 67-49, the Pacers cut into the Detroit lead and got the score to 69-57 with an Aaron Nesmith free throw only two minutes into the quarter. This play by Duarte helped cut into the Piston lead as well.

It was a short lived feeling of a possible comeback as Detroit seemed to hit shot after shot and ended up leading 91-68 at the end of the third quarter.
