The Detroit Pistons (40-36) and Indiana Pacers (39-36) have matched each other loss for loss. By falling to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, the Pistons returned the half-game the Pacers gifted them on Thursday when they lost to the Orlando Magic. As it stands now, Indiana trails the Pistons by a 0.5 game for the No. 7 seed ahead of tonight's match-up with the Philadelphia 76ers, in which they are expected to make some tweaks to the playing rotation.
"We'll make some subtle changes, some bigger changes, the main thing is we have to remain together," head coach Frank Vogel told Pacers.
