Miami, Fla. — Reggie Jackson was having his best game of the season. With the game tied and the precious seconds ticking under 30, Jackson got the ball from Andre Drummond at the top of the key. He dribbled left toward the sideline and drew a double-team.
Undeterred, he kept his dribble — and met another switching double-team. Still composed, Jackson drove the baseline and found Thon Maker on the opposite sideline. After a pump-fake, Maker launched the go-ahead 3-pointer, which put the Pistons’ bench into a frenzy, while simultaneously quieting the crowd at State Farm Arena in Friday's 125-122 victory.
