Another pathetic start for the Pistons, down 20-6 at one point, but they came back to only down 5 after the first quarter. An awful bench performance got them back down 12, with Delfino playing especially badly, but Lindsey helped jump start things to get the Pistons within 3 at the half. Then the starters lowered the boom in the 3rd quarter, 35-18, to get it into
garbage time by 6 minutes left in the 4th. Tay and Rip both had big games, and no one played very many minutes; Tay at 31 was the only Piston with more than 30 minutes. Sheed hyperextended a finger on his left hand and didn't return...he probably could have, but they didn't need him. Pacers, man...not good.
