The Detroit Pistons took a 10-point lead into halftime, and that was about the last we saw of the Pacers chances tonight at the Palace. Despite shooting well, the Pistons outpowered Indiana and were crafty on the offensive end led by Reggie Jackson and Ersan Ilyasova. The Pacers turned the ball over 16 amount of times which allowed Detroit to capitalize on points off the turnover and sunk the ship on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Good: The Pacers shot the ball very well, but their shot selection was crucial.
