Regular Season Round 125: Indiana P. - Detroit P. 109-113

Date: February 25, 2019
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when second-ranked Pacers (40-21) lost to third ranked Pistons (29-30) in Indianapolis 109-113 on Monday. Pistons looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists. Center Andre Drummond (208-93, college: Connecticut) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 16 rebounds. Forward Blake Griffin (208-89, college: Oklahoma) contributed with a triple-double by scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the winners. Lithuanian-American power forward Domantas Sabonis (209-96, college: Gonzaga) answered with 23 points and 7 rebounds and Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic (203-89) added 25 points in the effort for Pacers. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches allowed to play bench players in such tough game. Pistons have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain third place with 29-30 record despite having the same number of points like the leader Toronto R. Loser Pacers keep the second position with 21 games lost.
