PACERS-DETROIT MATCH: REGGIE MILLER’S LAST CHANCE

PACERS-DETROIT MATCH: REGGIE MILLER’S LAST CHANCE

Reggie Miller and the Pacers, who had consistently come close to winning the championship, had built an unbeatable roster after the 2004 finals. They were a true championship contender. They had been beating every team that came their way since the start of the season. On November 19th, 2004, they had a game against the defending champions, Detroit. They were leading the game. With 45 seconds left, Ron Artist committed an unnecessary foul on Ben Wallace. Wallace then shoved Artist. When a bottle thrown by a spectator hit artist, who was lying on the referee’s table, the fight escalated instantly. Artist attacked the stands. Players and spectators clashed. In the end, Artist and several Pacers players received significant game suspensions. Despite missing several players, the Pacers still made it to the NBA finals. But guess who they lost to in the playoffs? Of course, Detroit. Thus, a team that could have been NBA champions ended up in this state. [Music]

Early in the 2004 season, an unfortunate fight broke out during a game played in Detroit that would change the fate of the NBA.
