The Indiana Pacers host the Detroit Pistons tonight a night after falling out of the playoff race. Friday night's results in the NBA took care of any remaining drama for tonight's game becuse since Detroit won their game against the Nets and Charlotte dumped a roadie at Oklahoma City, the Pistons clinched their spot in the playoffs. Sure would've been nice to at least play spoiler for one night, but instead pride is all that remains at stake tonight.
Here are the Pacers.com Matchups.
For the Detroit perspective, check out the latest SB Nation blog, Motown String Music. Also, don't miss Detroit Bad Boys and Need4Sheed.
