Back home in Michigan, Isaiah Jackson (not Jalen Smith) is the Pacers’ first big off the bench.
He immediately draws an offensive foul, then assists on a Haliburton jumper. – 7:27 PM

Cade with a nice start: 8 points, 4 assists through the first half of the 1st. Detroit’s played well on both ends with a new starting-five – 7:24 PM

Pacers need to continue to attack. Even more important as outside shots aren’t falling.
All three of their scoring plays have come on drives to the basket. Just six points in the first five minutes. – 7:21 PM

Anybody want a weird uniform observation I’ve noticed about when the Pistons wear their Bad Boys jerseys?
No? Cool. I’ll share anyway.
They wear orange accessories (arm sleeves, leg sleeves etc) at home and black accessories on the road. – 7:17 PM

Here we go again… Pistons race ahead 10-2 and Carlisle has seen enough, calls timeout after 3mins.
I like the Pacers’ flow early — getting it and run. 1 for 6 though, and 0 for 3 from outside. – 7:15 PM

Pregame reading on Haliburton’s slump, plus the Pacers’ 3-point shooting woes since the trades (5th to 22nd) and in March.
“It’s men not machines. You’re not going to make every shot. The process and the intent is probably the most important thing.”
