| The game was not over early. With a little over 3 minutes to go, Delfino drives in and gets fouled across the face hard. First, of course this should have been a flagrant foul, us getting free throws and the ball back. We did at least get the foul call. Delfino made the first, but missed the next. Score, us 10 down. After the miss, the ball clearly went off Cleveland, but the officials missed the call and gave it to Cleveland. With a good call and a hoop, we are right back into the game. Instead, Bron steps back and nails a three on Tay. Just wonder if he still makes that shot under a bit more pressure.
We were just down 14 to end the half. We knocked the lead down to 10 in the 3rd. They went up by 20. We knocked the lead down to 11 early in the 4th. They went back up 16. We got it down to 10 with plenty of time to go. Lots of little runs by the Pistons. Not a blowout at all, not a forgone conclusion that we were going to lose the game. |
