Pascal Siakam scored 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton had 30 points and eight assists, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Detroit Pistons 133-119.

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is a basketball lifer. He's played with Boston Celtics legends like Larry Bird. When Carlisle compliments a player, it comes from a genuine place. After Wednesday's 133-119 victory over the Detroit Pistons, the veteran head coach admired a Pacers star for his "stellar" performance.

The Indiana Pacers are back home when the Detroit Pistons visit. Tempers flared just a little when these teams met two weeks ago.

Pascal Siakam had a season high 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton added 30 and the host Indiana Pacers fought off a strong challenge to defeat the Detroit Pistons 133-119 Wednesday night in Indianapolis.

Tragedy over the Potomac, NBA All-Star reserves, Mikayla makes history, Duke-UNC in Durham, Rory's slam dunk ace, and more.

The voting process for the NBA All-Star game is flawed and broken. Look no further than the selection of Pascal Siakam as a reserve in the Eastern Conference.

The versatile guard is named to the Western Conference reserves. Teammate Norman Powell is not despite averaging a team-best 24 points per game.

On the other hand, Victor Wembanyama has been selected for the first time for the All-Star Game. The French center, who recently turned 21, has been chosen as one of the 14 reserves completing the rosters for the event on February 16 in San Francisco.
