In what is becoming a trend with the lowly Pistons, they played another competitive ball game, but it was not enough to pull up a win. Despite trailing by 12 at the end of the first half in their first meeting of the weekend against the Pacers, Detroit roared back to tie the game by the end of the third quarter. Yet, Indiana settled down, and pulled ahead in the fourth quarter, downing the Pistons by a score of 121-115, marking the team’s 11th-straight loss.
Detroit is doing its part to win the race for the best odds in this offseason’s draft lottery, as they are a half-game back of the Houston Rockets for the worst record in the NBA.
The Pacers definitely needed that win on Saturday, given they are right on the cusp of jumping into the four Play-In spots in the Eastern Conference. They come into Monday night a half-game back of the Chicago Bulls for the last postseason spot.
Coming into the third matchup this season between the Pistons and Pacers, with Indy winning the first two games. The two teams will also meet down in Indianapolis next month.
