Detroit 86, Indiana 67

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Pistons played like champions with swarming, relentless defense and unselfish offense.

Ben Wallace had 19 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks to lead Detroit to an 86-67 victory Tuesday night over the Indiana Pacers, and a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

The defending NBA champs can close out the pesky Pacers on Thursday night in Indianapolis.

The Pistons held Indiana without a field goal for a stretch of 10:39 -- including the first 6:26 of the second half -- turning a tie game into a 22-point advantage. The 30-4 run by Detroit over the second and third quarters turned the game into a rout.

A potential San Antonio/Detroit final in the works? That would be a defensive juggernut game. If these two teams play I would pick the Spurs only b/c of Manu Ginobili, the X-factor.
