First Quarter
Indiana began the game well with Mike Dunleavy hitting every single one of his shots (10 points total) from both the field and the free throw line. The Pistons seemed to lack their regular passion to win the game and due to this Indiana got out to a 25-10 lead. In the final 2 minutes of the quarter, their passion grew back all thanks to a play by Ben Gordon, Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince. Ben Gordon stole the ball from T.J. Ford, passed the ball up to Rodney Stuckey who threw a perfect alley-oop to Tayshaun Prince for the jam. This evoked roars from the crowd and hyped up the Pistons whom scored a further 9 points in the final 2 minutes to narrow the lead to 4. The Pistons were down at the end of the quarter, 25-21.

Second Quarter
The Pistons came out this quarter ready to play, playing off their run from the previous quarter. This quarter saw the defensive abilities of Ben Wallace and the scoring abilities of Rodney Stuckey begin to show. Ben Wallace blocked 4 shots this quarter, most notably one which saw the ball fly directly into the 5th row, catching a man drinking a soda off guard. Rodney Stuckey was punishing the Pacers scoring 10 points all off lay-ups and dunks. The Pacers however were still in the game thanks to persistent play by Danny Granger. At the half the score was 47-44, Detroit's way.

Third Quarter
The third quarter was tightly contested with both teams going back and forth, point for point. Chris Anderson played the entire quarter and scored 10 points to go with a tremendous block on Danny Granger. Granger stole the ball from Stuckey, raced down court for an easy dunk, only to be surprised by the Birdman soaring through the air for a huge block. Charlie Villanueva was pulling down boards in this quarter, with a ferociousness that hasn't been seen from him since his 52 point night. He pulled down 8 boards in the quarter. Ben Wallace was also scoring well, scoring 8 in the quarter. Brandon Rush was also scoring well, scoring 15 of his teams 22 points. The Piston's were up going into the final period of regulation, 69-66.

Fourth Quarter
The Pistons gritty play, most notably the gritty play of Rodney Stuckey was what solidified the win for them. In what would seem to be a tightly contested final quarter, Rodney Stuckey was going to the line on nearly every play, sinking all but one of his 12 free throws. Stuckey after his 11 points off free throws wasn't done, he was throwing more alley-oops, he was throwing amazing lob and bounce passes for easy baskets and in the end amassed a total of 12 assists. Ben Wallace was also slamming them down, off the Rodney Stuckey passes. Thanks to tremendous defensive play from Ben Wallace and the "take it to the rack" attitude of Rodney Stuckey, along with his fantastic passing, the Pistons won the game 91-83.

Nice win, great work as always with the recap.

[Axel The Great]

Rodney Stuckey came up big. Sounded like a tough one, but with some defense, you were able to pull away in the fourth.

[Bomb Diggity]

Rodney Stuckey was a gun in the game, which to be honest was pretty damn hard haha.

Anywho, might play the next game tonight.. or tomorrow night. Recap up in a day or so.

[Clutch]

nice win, though weird to see Foster pwn Big Ben on the glass

Away game vs. Milwaukee up tonight

First Quarter
Detroit came out to an early lead in the quarter thanks to Ben Gordon instantly making an impact with his shooting. Luc Mbah a Moute was driving to the basket a lot and if anything he was the sole reason that the Pistons were not leading by a much larger margin going into the second quarter. Ben Wallace in unusual fashion began the game slow however, totaling 2 points and 1 rebound in the first quarter of play. Michael Redd started off the game horrible missing all 9 of his first quarter shot attempts. The Pistons came out to an early lead, 26-22.

Second Quarter
The second quarter was all about Brandon Jennings. Jennings was dismantling the Pistons fantastic defense of Ben Wallace and Chris Anderson to go along with Charlie Villanueva and also the guards of the Pistons. Jennings had 4 assists the quarter and was purely fantastic. The only true threat for the Pistons this quarter was the offensive play and defensive thievery shown by Pistons captain, Richard Hamilton whom racked up 3 steals this quarter to go along with 10 points. At the half the score was 49-48, Milwaukee's way.

Third Quarter
Much like the rest of the game, the tightly contested quarter came down to one man playing better than the rest. This man this quarter was Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey was slicing to the rim for dunks and layups, to go with jump shots and free throws. No one could stop him. The highlight however came on a fantasticx alley-oop to Ben Wallace. Michael Redd too was sinking jump shots, overplaying both Richard Hamilton and Ben Gordon this quarter, both whom were defending the crafty shooter. One of the highlight plays of the entire game was an amazing dunk by "Birdman" Chris Anderson whom had a huge dunk over Michael Redd. Redd was going for the charge however Anderson was too strong and soared above him in a Tom Chambers like maneuver allowing him to elevate even higher for the jam. The Pistons were leading 68-66 going into the final quarter.

Fourth Quarter
The fourth quarter was one of passion. Both teams played their hearts out, going point for point, block for block, rebound for rebound. It was an amazing quarter. Brandon Jennings was coming out with steals and point and connected repeatedly with Luc Mbah a Moute whom was slamming them down. In return, the defensive duo of Ben Wallace and Chris Anderson, along with the scoring threats of Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey retaliated with full force. In the dying moments of the game, with 22 seconds on the clock, Ersan Ilyasova had an open layup, only to be denied by a "flying" Chris Anderson who pinned the ball up against the glass. With no shot clock and 18 seconds to go Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon passed the ball between one another. Gordon was guarded by Michael Redd whom stumbled after an amazing crossover by Gordon. Gordon pulled up from the 3-point line with 1.5 seconds to go and as the buzzer went off the sound of a "swish" silenced the entire Milwaukee crowd. The Pistons win the game on a Ben Gordon buzzer beater, 91 to 88.

Awesome finish!

[Warlock95]

I love buzzer-beaters for three reasons.

1) Exciting finish to a close game.
2) Each time my opponents try to beat the buzzer, they almost often miss. Other times, I block their shots.
3) I've never lost a game to a buzzer-beater.

[Bomb Diggity]

Awesome finish!

Thanks Andrew, I knew you'd like it considering it's Ben Gordon, a former Chicago Bulls gun-man

Haha well it's good to hear you like it!

And yeah, I agree they are way more fun, I hate hitting a buzzer beater with 0.1 seconds or so to go, I much prefer swishing the shot as the buzzer actually goes off! haha

[Andrew]

Absolutely. I had a gamewinner with Gordon in the first year of my Dynasty (funnily enough against the Pistons) but I missed a potential gamewinner with him in a recent game in my second season. His ratings are a little better in the 2009/2010 rosters compared to the 2005/2006 season rosters I originally started my Dynasty with all those years ago though.

[Warlock95]

Haha well it's good to hear you like it!

Whoops! Shoulda put "three reasons", not two. Oh well, it's fixed now.

Also, doing a buzzer-beater makes the player an instant hero (if playing at home), or villain (if you're the visiting team.)

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Ooooh! Havent checked in a while but as always u impress me, i like that jam over Redd by BirdMan!

[Warlock95]

Yeah.

Are those retro uniforms?

[KidJustin]

@ the dunk by Charlie....Boguts hand is in a no-no spot

haha but awesome win once again haven't seen big ben shine as much in a while compared to ur first games....but the other guys are really stepping up

[Martti.]

Nice to see a good game from Jennings, Redd and Bogut. But Motor City keeps on rolling.

Ooooh! Havent checked in a while but as always u impress me, i like that jam over Redd by BirdMan!

That was my favourite too

Yeah.

Are those retro uniforms?

Yep, thus the "Hardwood Classics" logo beneath the team logos in the post, showing that it was Retro/Hardwood Classics night

@ the dunk by Charlie....Boguts hand is in a no-no spot

haha but awesome win once again haven't seen big ben shine as much in a while compared to ur first games....but the other guys are really stepping up

Big Ben been great on the defensive end still, his offense isn't as flash as it was before but he's still ripping up on the blocks. He's leading the league with 5.26 BPG I think, second is Kendrick Perkins at 2.93, so in others words, Big Ben might still have a shot at Defensive POY

Nice to see a good game from Jennings, Redd and Bogut. But Motor City keeps on rolling.

I hope they do! It was fun playing against Jennings with Stuckey !

[Bomb Diggity]

[Andrew]

Nice. Shame there won't be one more comeback attempt though.
