Granger, Pacers hold off Pistons

Basketball Betting Lines

03/19/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danny Granger returned to the lineup and poured in 29 points to go with six assists, as the Indiana Pacers held off the Detroit Pistons, 106-102, in a Central Division battle from Conseco Fieldhouse.

Granger, who sat out Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers after taking an elbow to the cheek a night earlier, helped the Pacers beat the Pistons for a fifth straight game.

Troy Murphy donated 20 points and eight rebounds, while Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush chipped in 15 points apiece for the victors.

Rodney Stuckey also had a big game in his return to action, scoring 25 points off the bench. Stuckey had missed the last six games after collapsing on the bench during a March 5 game at Cleveland.

Ben Gordon finished with 17 points, seven boards, and six assists for the Pistons, who have dropped 11 of their past 13 contests. DaJuan Summers had 12 points in defeat.

Trailing 94-80 near the midway point of the fourth, the Pistons scored 15 consecutive points to go in front. Summers tallied eight points during the burst, including a long jumper to make it 95-94 with under three minutes to play.

After each team missed a shot, Earl Watson made a driving layup to put Indiana ahead by one, 96-95, with 2:04 remaining. Stuckey then missed a jumper before Granger was fouled on a three-point shot. Granger made all three free throws to make it 99-95 with 1:25 to go.

Following two missed shots from Stuckey, Watson made 1-of-2 from the line to extend Indiana's margin to 102-95 with 42.2 seconds left. The Pistons never got closer than four the rest of the way.

A Granger jumper and Rush trey gave the Pacers a quick 5-0 edge. And it was all Indiana from there, as the home team ripped off 12 straight points moments later to build a 21-6 margin with about 4 1/2 minutes left. The score was 33-18 after 12 minutes of action.

Charlie Villanueva's deuce had Detroit within eight, 37-29, with 8 1/2 minutes to play until halftime. However, the Pacers responded with an ensuing 23-8 run. Granger's slam capped the burst, making it a 60-37 contest.

Indiana led 62-41 at the break and held an 87-70 margin following three periods.
