Jarace Breaks Out, Pacers Battle Back But Fall Short to Detroit
The Pacers dropped their 15th game of the season in a 122–117 loss to the red-hot Pistons, who extended their win streak to 13 and remain atop the Eastern Conference. Indiana surrendered 71 first-half points but responded with one of their best stretches of the year, outscoring Detroit by 11 in the second half and giving themselves a real chance late. Jarace Walker delivered a true breakout, scoring a career-high 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 5-of-6 from three, finally snapping out of his offensive slump. TJ McConnell also looked the best he has all season, dropping 16 points on 8-of-12 as he finds his rhythm after injury. Despite the loss and the 2–15 record, this was one of the most encouraging performances of the season — and a real sign that things might finally be trending upward.
