Indiana Pacers as Isiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer took charge down the stretch for a 100-87 victory Saturday The Pistons which went from a 41-41 halftime tie to a 17-point lead with a 26-9 third-quarter run are bidding to become only the third franchise in NBA history to win consecutive championships The Lakers have accomplished the feat three times twice while in Minneapolis (1949-50 1952-54 and again in Los Angeles (1987-88) The Boston Celtics won eight straight titles from 1959 through 1966 and also won repeat championships in 1963 and 1969 Indiana which trailed by as many as 17 points in the second half got 11 fourth quarter-points from Vern Fleming and worked the deficit down to seven several times But each time either Thomas or Laimbeer would answer with a basket for the Pistons Laimbeer had 22 points and 11 rebounds while Thomas finished with 13 points eight in the fourth quarter and 12 assists Joe Dumars scored 19 points for the Pistons Reggie Miller scored 23 points for Indiana and Fleming finished with 19 Only twice in NBA history has a team bounced back from a 2-0 deficit to win a best-of-five series The 1956 Fort Wayne Pistons lost the first two games but rallied to beat the St Louis Hawks 3-2 in the Western Division finals and the 1987 Golden State Warriors erased a 2-0 deficit and defeated the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference first round The Pacers overcame a 13-point deficit to forge a 41-41 halftime tie But the Pistons with Dumars scoring 10 points and Laimbeer adding eight took charge in the third quarter and rolled to a 67-50 lead their largest of the game with 4:26 left in the period The run included two free throws by Dumars following technical fouls on LaSalle Thompson and Detlef Schrempf Ereng defends title In 800 at Drake
