Pacers-Pistons Preview

The Indiana Pacers haven't had any problems this season with the Detroit Pistons.

Still, having Danny Granger back could be a nice boost for the Central Division leaders as they complete this home-and-home set.

Granger might make his long-awaited season debut on Saturday night when the visiting Pacers go for the season sweep over the Pistons.

Whatever concerns existed about Indiana (34-21) playing without Granger, who has been sidelined with patellar tendinosis in his left knee, have been quieted by Paul George, David West, George Hill and others as the Pacers have moved into second place in the Eastern Conference. They took over that spot on Friday with a 114-82 victory over Detroit (22-35) and with New York losing 100-98 at Toronto.

Indiana routed the Knicks 125-91 on Wednesday in its first game after the All-Star break.

"I'm very, very pleased with how our guys are approaching the post All-Star break," said coach Frank Vogel, whose team's 8-2 stretch started with a 98-79 victory over the visiting Pistons on Jan. 30. "They have incredible focus and energy. Our offense is really coming on."

That's a scary thought for opponents as the Pacers have yet to have Granger - their leading scorer in each of the last five seasons - see any action. Indiana is scoring 103.5 points per game over the last 10 contests to improve its season average to 93.8.

The Pacers lead the NBA in scoring defense (89.8) and field goal defense at 41.4 percent.

"We know were an elite level team and we have to show that every night," said rookie forward Orlando Johnson, who hit three 3-pointers and finished with a career-best 14 points - all in the first half - on Friday to join all five Pacers' starters in double figures.

Whether Granger returns or not, Johnson can expect to get plenty of minutes going forward. He leads all Pacers reserves with 28 points during the team's three-game winning streak.

"(Johnson's) not coming out of the rotation any time soon," Vogel said.

The Pistons need to do something different after their most lopsided defeat since a 116-84 loss at Atlanta on April 18, but they know it won't be easy.

"With Indiana, it's all about blitzkrieg," coach Lawrence Frank said. "They blitzkrieged New York, who bliztkrieged us. There's no surprise about what they did."

Detroit chances of bouncing back on Saturday could be hurt if second-year guard Brandon Knight misses a second straight game due to a hyperextended right knee.

If Knight can't play, Rodney Stuckey - the only Pistons starter in double figures (11) on Friday - will likely be in the lineup again next to point guard Jose Calderon, who is coming off his worst performance (five points, three assists) in nine games since being acquired from Toronto on Jan. 30.

The Pistons, losers of 13 of 16 to Indiana, had won three in a row over the visiting Pacers prior to an 88-77 defeat on Dec. 15

Indiana last swept this season series in 2009-10.

West, Pacers earn home-and-home sweep of Pistons

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) If the Indiana Pacers could make the NBA schedule, they would probably be playing the Detroit Pistons again on Sunday.

Probably Monday, as well.

One night after blowing the Pistons out in Indianapolis, the Pacers did the same thing at the Palace on Saturday night. David West scored 16 points and Paul George had a double-double to help Indiana cruise to a 90-72 win over Detroit.

"Any time you play a team back-to-back, they are going to be dialed into what you do, especially with this being the fourth time this season." George said. "We knew they were going to make it a different game this time, but we take pride in our defense."

The Pacers won 114-82 Friday night in Indianapolis, and led by as many as 21 in the return leg. George finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana, which had five players in double figures and got Danny Granger on the floor for the first time this season.

"Our defense carried us throughout most of the game - we held those guys to 33 percent," said Indiana coach Frank Vogel. "We struggled to make shots this time, but we still ended up at 45 percent, which is pretty good."

Granger, who sat out the first 55 games of the season with a knee injury, missed his first eight shots before hitting one in the fourth quarter. He finished with two points on 1-for-10 shooting in 18 minutes.

"He was rusty, but that's to be expected," Vogel said. "That's why we aren't throwing him out there for 40 minutes. He's been a lot better in practices, but this was his first time at game speed in a long time."

Will Bynum led Detroit with 15 points before getting ejected for striking Tyler Hansbrough in the groin in the fourth quarter. Hansbrough said he didn't know what caused it, and Bynum wasn't willing to be specific.

"It was just something that happened in the heat of the moment - it wasn't something I planned intentionally," Bynum said. "There's a level of frustration when you are getting drilled by the same team for the second night in a row."

After trailing by as many as 43 in Indiana, the Pistons started the second game of the home-and-home series by missing 16 of their first 17 shots.

"Our starting unit defends as well as any I have ever been around," Vogel said. "They've been doing this all year, and that's a big reason for our success."

Still, as good as Indiana's defense may be, the Pacers aren't usually holding teams to under 6 percent shooting for long stretches of the game.

"We got a good example tonight of playoff basketball," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "We missed some shots at the rim early on, and then we got frustrated and started getting away from what we wanted to do."

The Pacers struggled to take advantage, turning the ball over seven times in the first nine minutes of the game. That's when Granger checked in for the first time this season.

"It was different, because we were trying to get Danny into the loop - we all wanted him to get into a groove," George said. "Once the second half came around, we knew we had to finish the game."

Detroit's second unit - including three rookies - took a 21-20 lead midway through the second quarter, but the Pacers finished strong to take a 39-28 lead at the break. Bynum had 13 points for the Pistons, but Detroit's five starters combined for only 11 points on 4-of-22 shooting in the opening half.

Indiana pulled away in the third quarter and, for the second night in a row, both teams emptied their benches down the stretch.

"They have just had our number from start to finish," Bynum said. "There is no other way to look at it."

NOTES: Detroit's starters had one assist and eight turnovers in the first half. ... Charlie Villanueva and West picked up technical fouls for confrontations on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter.
