The Pistons played one of their worst games of the season and were still in with a chance with four minutes left in the game. Unfortunately, they ran out of gas and the Pacers continued to fend them off every time the Detroit started to make a run, credit to Indiana.

Another noteworthy NBA rivalry may be in the making between the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers. The Pistons came up short in a tough 111-100 loss to the Pacers at Little Caesars Arena. Both teams engaged in plenty of trash talk and chippy play throughout the game.
