And the hits just keep on coming for Detroit. The Pistons are now on a three game losing streak after a 110-106 overtime loss to the Pacers. Detroit went into Indiana having won eight straight against the Pacers, who currently have the second worst defense in the league. Despite a 30 point performance from Stuckey and the ball in their hands multiple times at the end of regulation, the Pistons came up short.
Key Points:
- Small Ball Part II: 0-for-2
- DNP Jason Maxiell and Kwame Brown. I know Indiana is fast but come on.
- Another loss to a team that we should beat. As of now can we say the Pistons “should” beat anyone at this point?
- Another fantastic night from Rodney Stuckey that gets soured by losing a game like this. A game high 30 for Stuckey who was 12-for-20 with 9 boards, 6 assists and just one turnover. Thank goodness George Blaha is so animated when Rodney is playing, it’s the best part of watching these days.

- A few Stuck HL’s.
- Not a good night for Rip 4-for-13 from the floor for 9 points in 29 minutes.
- Tay 4-for-12, it’s clear he is not the player he can be when he’s playing out of position.
- Sheed put up a double-double with 17 points and 15 boards with a steal and a blocked shot. Yes great numbers but 3-for-11 from downtown (1-for-5 in OT)….Do we really need Rasheed to be taking 11 from beyond the arc? Stick to the post and witty banter Rasheed.
- Outrebounded 48-50.
- This lineup is messing with Dyess who had been one of the reasons we were winning since his return to the team.

- First overtime win for Indiana all season.
- Iverson 23 on 9-for-19 shooting, that’s probably one of the best shooting nights he’s had percentage-wise in quite some time. Add 7 assists to that and it’s a nice line for AI. Yes he had 4 turnovers, but I’ll take a game like this over a 30% shooting night any day.
- FSN Highlights by quarter.
- Friday in Oklahoma should be interesting.
