Welcome back inside the Ann Arbor Studios of the Big 1050 WTKA online at the Big 1050.com. Really disappointing performance by the Pissons last line, in particular in the third quarter. Well, I guess in the beginning of the first quarter and then again in the beginning of the third quarter. They got off to a terrible start at the beginning of the game, but they rallied from that early deficit. They were down what it was like 16, 5 in the first part of the game in the first quarter. or, yeah, 165 in the first quarter, but they

re-reacted. They were down what it was like 16, 5 in the first part of the game in the first quarter. Yeah, 165 in the first quarter. But they rallied back at the time the first quarter was over. It was they had a three point lead. And they had a lead obviously by four points at halftime. But at the beginning of the third quarter, it was all Cleveland. It was basically all Donovan Mitchell and he was helped

leading his team at that point. And he keyed what was a 23 nothing run disaster to start

the third quarter for the piston. So now they are tied to two to coming back to Detroit. They played

tomorrow night at Little Cesar's Arena at 8 o'clock and it becomes a pivotal, a huge pivotal game

five here in Detroit. Got to win that one now. I was hoping, you know, kind of felt like based on coming off of game three, they were going to bounce back and get game four. And the way it was playing out, once you got to halftime, it kind of, again, felt like they were on track to maybe get that way. And obviously, that's not how it played out. So they, it was a really disappointing performance in the third

quarter turned into a 112-103 loss. So the series is tied at 2-2. And now it's going to go at least six. And we'll see what happens starting with game five tomorrow night. After the game, we heard from J.B. Bickerstaff. We heard from two of the pissons that actually played fairly well last night.

Karis Leverton, Paul Reed.

So let's start with the head coach.

Here is J.B. Bickerstaff for a few minutes after the game last. We heard from two of the pissons that actually played fairly well last night. Karas Leverton, Paul Reed.

Here is J.B. Bickerstaff for a few minutes after the game last night.

The disappointing performance by his pissons that now are in a two-two tie in their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Cavs.

So here is J.B. Bickerstaff from last night now here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK. What went wrong in that third quarter?

I mean, they came out and played with more force and tenacity than we did to start the quarter.

We had a four-point lead, obviously, and they came out, you know, very aggressive on both ends of the floor.

We just didn't match it.

What did you see from P. Reed in that stretch and then the decision to go with him

over during the third, but then during him?

Yeah, I mean, I thought P. Reid earned the opportunity to be on the floor. He did a great job

for us on both ends of the floor doing the things that we needed him to do, and he deserved

the opportunity to play.
