The NBA regular season was a contest in which the Indiana Pacers hosted the Detroit Pistons. In the end, the Pacers won 122-113. After the game, the Pacers finished 13-18 and ranked 13th in the East. The Pistons, on the other hand, have suffered 13 consecutive defeats, with only 4 wins and 23 losses this season, firmly at the bottom of the league.
After the opening, the two sides played fiercely in the first quarter, and the Pacers narrowly won 32-29. In the second quarter, it was more exciting, and the status of the two teams continued to improve, and the battle was 38-35, or the Pacers were better. The Pacers continued their momentum, cutting another 30+ to continue widening the points gap at 33-27. In the final quarter, he withstood the opponent's counterattack and won 19-22 despite losing three points.
It was only at the last moment, when the other side chased to single digits, that there was an inexplicable scene on the field. The Pacers had a good chance of 3-on-1 and just took the points, but coach Carlisle suddenly called a timeout. To say that the gap of 9 points, is still very safe, not to the point where you need to interrupt your offensive opportunities with a timeout.
Therefore, the players are also very incomprehensible, especially Duarte, who holds the ball, directly expresses his dissatisfaction with the substitute. So did Sabonis Jr., who, judging by his lip span, seemed to have yelled "Why" and then walked back to the bench in frustration. The players have a strong desire to fight, but they are caught by the coach, and the Pacers are currently in an awkward situation, and it is very difficult to go up, but let them swing to compete for a good signing position, and they can't pull down their faces.
Six Pacers scored in double figures, with LeVert scoring 31 points and five assists for the most prominent, other J-Holliday with 17 points and 2 rebounds, Turner with 16 points and 7 rebounds, Sabonis Jr. with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Duarte with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and J-Lamb with 11 points and 6 assists.
