The Detroit Pistons go cold in the second half and continue to struggle on the road as they get blown out 105-84 to the Indiana Pacers.
Despite taking a 58-56 lead into half time, the Detroit Pistons turned the ball over an unbelievable 11 times in the third quarter alone which enabled the Pacers a 22-5 run and take an easy victory. The Pistons had 21 turnovers in the game.
The loss moves the Pistons, who have now lost six of their last seven road games, momentarily out of the 8th spot in the East.
The lone bright spot for the Pistons was the continued offensive form of both Jon Leuer and Marcus Morris who combined to shoot 12-22 from the floor after both setting career highs the night before.
For the Pacers, it was a solid all around performance that included six players in double digits and only six turnovers over the contest.
