Spurs outlast Pistons, 95-107.
The highlight of this battle against the Pistons came, once again, courtesy of Brandon Ingram, who may have finished with only 15 points, but hammered a tomahawk dunk past Andre Drummond (16 points, 22 rebounds) as both men stumbled to the hardwood, with the crowd and commentary simply ecstatic in response. Ingram also contributed 6 rebounds & 5 assists, 1 steal & 1 block.
The Spurs were led by Dejounte Murray once again, whose 25 points & 3 steals was enough to fend off a few chances by Detroit to take the game over late. The Spurs benefited from a 32-20 third quarter rout. J.R. Smith scored 18 points, with Taurean Prince's 11 helping the offense.
For the Pistons, Derrick Rose scored 18 points followed by a chilly Blake Griffin (6-19) with 16 points. San Antonio shot 52% compard to 43% by Detroit, who only made 4/20 from long range, also missing eight free throws, mostly due to Drummond's poor ability from the charity stripe.
