NBA Mini: Indiana Pacers vs. Detroit Pistons | Extended Highlights
You just got to keep shooting. He’s He shot the ball not effectively for him. And Pasers get another steal. And they’ll have another look on a four on Jackson, the former Detroit High School stand out. Missed it. He had a double double against the Pistons last week. And Guran throws it down. Neither Tobias Harris was on the floor. Two misses by Cunningham. when he had a game a few weeks ago, he took 45 shots. That’s a drive and a strong drive by Nemhar. That shot that was just taken by Duncan Robinson was if he missed it, he knew the Doo was going to be there. Turning the corner and they exploded. Detroit is four of seven. Indiana by two. Robinson launches for three and hits. Very good job for Seattle to stop that. But Dur is a center. [Applause] Miscommunication there as Thompson dunks it. The shot clock at 10. Robinson sets the screen. He’s so big. I’m telling you that’s that’s the problem. He is just huge. He is a big guy. 68 cuz Duran was standing right there. Nine straight Detroit points make it 12 straight Detroit points. 108 Pacers lead. Indiana down 20-10. Detroit coming in off a blowout win in Milwaukee as Siakum gets to the rim. Keep pushing. Keep pushing. Otherwise, you’re going to play against this set defense on the baseline up and under with a left hand cuz the defense never got set. That’s why they want they have in the rope because you miss bodies. I mean, and through the course of the season, as the Pacers know and anybody knows, you’re going to have to be healthy, but you’re going to have some success. This is as explosive as I’ve seen TJ McConnell since he’s come back. Oh, good anticipation there by Walker. Oh, boy. Almost lost getting ready to get a dunk. Shot fake against Stewart. Drives the lane. It’s blocked by Jenkins. Look how quickly they’re out. This This is what you got to be careful of. Detroit used 11 different players in the first quarter. Rick Carlile talked about that before the game. And another basket by McConnell. What he does is get his chest into Nimhart. They’re really just trying to wear you down. Walker for three. Good to see. He’s been in a season long. It’s been interesting to watch the growth of this Tom Gore there. Owner again. Tra L. Uh-oh. He got another one. Bang. How about that, Jr.? I’m looking at the back row. They’re They’re not willing to do it. Yeah, they’ve had three of them. They’ve looked at and Javante Green got it from Cunningham. 25 points. And that’s good to see. Seaka ball stripped and Thompson back the other way. I I don’t even know if he really knew that Thompson was there. But the ability of Duran to be able to make the pass that’s necessary. He’s got to be ready to shoot it. Nem deep for three. That’s why you got to be ready to shoot. You’ll get that shot. Robinson Cunningham. Go. You got to go help. He’s too big. Yeah, that’s all right. Shot clock is down. Two one and a basket and a foul. Let’s see. Got him from there. That’s a tough one. Seakum against Harris. These two have battled before. You can see that Harrison. That is short. Long rebound chase down Thompson Cunningham with authority. Rebound. Watch. It’s a long rebound and it never really touched the floor. And it’s hard. Seakum the rebound. Yeah, you’re talking about surprised teams yet. These are two of the surprised teams in the East. And Matan got it. Pascal left that short. Seven and a half to play. Third quarter down low and Seakum got it. Anticipation is really important. Seakum comes and knows that Harris wants to dunk. That comes across the backside. Great leaders and they have been great leaders and players in their careers here with the Pacers, but really hungry to get a win. It’s been a tough stretch and Duran with authority. Well, there was plenty of contact there. Robinson can’t shoot for three. No good. Long rebound. Cunningham. [Applause] Well, he loves that double. Notice his move. And McConnell also in that ball got away. Good defense by Indiana. McConnell has it. Had an eight-point first half. Walker hit a three in the first half and hits. Cunningham directing Duran. They lob it and Duran scores. They sure did. [Applause] Robinson Earl cut off by Ivy. They got to get that out of there. Really good pass to get it. They had to get it out of that corner. Make them call a timeout. Robinson Earl got really good game. Yeah, make them call a timeout. First miss of the night for Jarus. Ivy up under spun it in off the glass. You sure did it cuz there’s Jay Huff coming at him. As we grew up, that’s called English. There’s mom, the women’s basketball coach at Notre Dame, a former member of the Indiana Fever. And Isaiah Stewart a little bit of that zone cuz this isn’t a great three-point shooting team, but once they get in the middle, well, here just so strong. Nice job there by Huff to stay down. Split time between New Orleans and the Cavaliers. Down to two on the shot clock. Huff blocked it and that will be a shot clock violation. Chased down though by Lever. [Applause] Levert step through basket and a foul. Watch the pop with you off to set the screen. You got to watch the pop. Thompson cut off by Sheepard. Goes up over the top and scores. Outbackers, but they’re fresh. They they got a a number of guys that got fresh legs. And McConnell gets the roll. I know what he told Tony Reese, but when you have those kind of injuries and particularly at this stage, you don’t bounce back quite as quickly as you would hope. And that’s a little bit what TJ was dealing with for first field goal second half for Seyakum. He’s got 19 to lead the Pacers. Indiana has six in double figures tonight. And LeVert delivers again. Well, he’s been way off tonight, but as you said, they haven’t necessarily needed it. No, you’re exactly. But you’re right. I I was thinking the same thing about Dan and Cunningham. But Dan is coming back into the game and I think Harris is I’m going to say four weeks easy. Seven minutes to play, 12-point lead. Pacers have cut it to five. Cunningham comes back in and Duran throws it down. He’s got a double double. 18 points, 10 rebounds, and he’s nearing a triple double with six assists. Huff for three. Third three of the night for Jay Huff. He’s got 11. Robinson goes out well um by Nimhard. Shot clock at seven. Let him get the ball there. Paris too hard to handle hard to handle. He just said beginning to grasp it that he didn’t have it and it’s a cross match. Thompson whenever Nemhard’s in Thompson has the assignment. Walker for three again. Harris Nehard looks. Walker got it again. His fifth. What a night for Jarus Walker. Walker guarding Cunningham. He just needs to be solid here. You don’t need a steel. It is good by Cunningham. He got the bounce. We got you a spot. Not much. Dehart. Shot clock at eight. He’s going to penetrate inside. Jackson lays it in and a foul. [Applause] Boom. It comes out. Doran the rebound, loose ball and it’s on Detroit. He’s got a little left. See that bloody lip makes them both. It’s a two-point game. First clutch game. Levert sets the screen. Cunningham against Matan. Cunningham. Two to shoot. One to shoot. Puts it in. I was trying to see what coach Carwell was looking for cuz I could see Nimhart was looking for something. Nebar goes right around up off the glass. It’s good. It’s a two-point game with a sweet layup there. Four of seven at the free throw line for Lever. One of them for the Pistons would be big. And that’s the one. And that gives him a four-point lead. Yeah, I mean it’s it’s been a a fight to get it where you can feel comfortable with it without being comfortable. But this group has done a a miracle here. Walker’s going to fire up a three and that’s going to go out of bounds with six. The Detroit Pistons will win a 13th straight for a third time in franchise history. They did it in 1989 90 and 0304. But a valiant comeback a little bit short. It’s on ESPN on Disney Plus. Turn it on.
