At the end of 1, we are up 26-24 behind a strong quarter from Ellis who has 10 points and 4 assists.
We rest MCW for 4 minutes of the 2nd quarter and Watson and company turn it over a few times allowing Detroit to build a 10 point lead.
We go into the half down 54-45.
Ellis with 12 points to lead us. MCW with 6 assists to lead us.
A tough 3rd quarter as my starters are fatigued and getting outhustled. We go to our 2nd unit and they close the gap a bit. Down 77-68 at the end of 3 after being down by 16 at one point.
We close within 5 with 2 minutes to go then Ellis misses an open 3.
Jennings finds Monroe for an interior basket. Embiid with a quick basket on the other end.
We foul. They make their FT's. Ellis with a quick 2 (his foot was on the line.)
They make their FT's ending the game essentially.
We lose 101-96.
