It’s hard to get over the hump when the opponent has an answer for every run.
The Pistons chiseled away at the lead and tied it a couple of times in the final period. When the Indiana Pacers needed a big basket, they got it, and didn’t let the Pistons get back in the game.
Native Detroiter Edmond Sumner scored 13 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter to quell the Pistons’ comeback attempts through the midpoint of the period. The Pistons had one last rally that fell short, and they took a 116-111 loss on Wednesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
