| Re: At Cleveland December 21st 8:00 PM Pistons finally get their first non-back-to-back win of the season! Hmm...
Ugly game a lot of the way through, Pistons were up 57-55 after 3 quarters. The 3rd was only 15-14 in favor of the Pistons. The Cavs continued to stink it up in the 4th, but the Pistons finally came alive, going on a big run sparked by Chauncey finally hitting some shots. Dice actually came alive in the 4th quarter, finishing with 11 points and 11 boards. JMax had a HUGE 2nd quarter, including one mind-boggling dunk where he got clubbed by Gooden, faded away, and still dunked on him!
I'm really amazed by how bad Cleveland's offense was. Ilgauskas had a decent game, and Lebron got a few of his usual highlights, but everyone else for them was horrible. Hughes, Gooden, Sideshow Bob, and Damon were a combined 9-38 from the floor. Pistons shot 44% from the floor, Tay leading the way at 8 of 11, but Cleveland only shot 34%. |
