After a disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Buck, the Detroit Pistons travelled to Indiana to take on the Pacers, in what many Detroit Pistons fans have described as a must win game. That wasn’t the case as the Pacers ended up taking the win 107-100.
It was a game of runs, with the game going back and forth, at one point in the third quarter the Pistons looked like they had the game locked up. They managed to get up by 22 at one stage (which included a 14-2 run in the third quarter), however some lackadaisical defence and some slow defensive rotations let the Pacers back into the game, who hit some tough shots down the stretch and managed to maintain the lead and take the win.
