The Detroit Pistons are one of the hottest teams in the league. They’ve won ten of their last twelve games, and are attempting to solidify themselves as a playoff contender as we hit the midway point of the season. Tonight, they’ll play host to the Indiana Pacers, who have won seven of their last nine games, having beaten both the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers during that span.
The last few times these teams have matched up, the games have been chippy (to the say the least), with players regularly jawing back and forth and flexing their muscles after rim rocking dunks.
