<< Back Next >> -------------------- December 01, 2001 12 minute game When the Pistons played the Hornets at the Hive last night, you could have slept through all of the first half and as a bonus the third quarter also - as we did, literally - and not miss any of the good stuff Baron Davis is truly The Baron of Hornetsville. When the Hornets were down by 10 in the fourth, there was no stopping him. He spliced, diced, knifed, through the Pistons' offense and got his teammates wide open for buckets. The handle on him was almost flawless as he repeatedly split defenders. You had to see the plays. Just...inspiring. Detroit on the other hand squandered a nice lead, but no worry Stackhouse was here for the very reason of stacking baskets. He made a clutch jumper, and 2 clutch free throws. Corliss came in handy too. Robert Traylor looks wider than the man but you wouldn't think Big Nasty could back up and score on Tractor in the post on 2 consecutive baskets. Especially at that crucial time. It was a see-saw uphill battle, but in the end Jerry got free for a triple that gave detroit a 5 point lead. Ball game. Charlotte was still full of fight, but the game was no longer full of time. Detroit 110 Charlotte 105. << Back Next >> Back to archive |
