Detroit − In their second game against each other in as many as three days, the Pistons and Pacers faced off on Detroit's very own holiday, “313 Day.”
It was a celebration of Detroit’s culture, music and fashion with several giveaways, celebrity appearances and activations around Little Caesars Arena.
And on a day when Detroit strived to “put on for their city,” the short-handed Pistons did exactly that with a blowout 117-97 victory over the Pacers.
The Pistons led by as many as 31 points in the second quarter and nearly surrendered it thanks to a feisty attempt by Indiana, who cut the lead to 12 early in the third quarter.
