Yes, the Indiana Pacers beat the Detroit Pistons again, this time a little closer at 90-72, but the game itself paled in comparison to Danny Granger's return.
Granger came off the bench, missed his first 8 shots, hit one, and finished 1-10 from the field, with 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 19 minutes.
Worse still, the team's offense looked stagnant and more confused whenever Granger was on the floor. But hey, that's expected. He hadn't played since the preseason, and Granger is a notoriously slow starter. There's reason for optimism, I suppose, but we'll have to wait and see. Chances are he will play a couple more weeks off the bench, though I doubt he will be close to 100% for a few more weeks after that.
Let's just hope he'll be ready by the playoffs, because the Pacers are gonna need him.
