The Indiana Pacers (36 - 43) beat the Detroit Pistons (30 - 49) 107 - 103 on Friday. Rodney Stuckey and C.J. Miles each scored 24 points to lead Indiana past the Pistons. The game was tied going into the fourth quarter and came down to the wire, but point guard George Hill hit six straight free throws in the final 81 seconds to seal the victory for his playoff - hopeful Pacers. Indiana is one game behind the Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, who hold the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Both the Nets and Celtics won their games on Friday to keep their advantage over the Pacers. Indiana has won four straight, but face three teams with winning records in their final three games. Greg Monroe put up another solid performance in just his second game back after an 11 - game absence because of a knee injury. He had 17 points, 12 rebounds and three assists. His point guard Reggie Jackson had a nice game, and like Monroe, is a free agent to be this offseason. Jackson had 21 points and nine assists. He's averaging 20 points and 11 assists in April. However the Pistons are 1 - 4 this month and have been eliminated from playoff competition. The Pistons will take on the Charlotte Hornets, as Indiana will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.
