2004 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 Indiana Pacers at Detroit Pistons, June 1, 2004

IND 65, DET 69 - On June 1, 2004, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Indiana Pacers 69-65 in Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals for a 4-2 series win -- despite Indiana possessing the league's best record and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. A newer version of the Bad Boys is going to the NBA Finals after a clinching victory Tuesday night. In one of the lowest-scoring games in NBA playoff history, Richard Hamilton hit the clutch shot of the night shortly after being flagrantly fouled by Ron Artest, and the Detroit Pistons defeated the Indiana Pacers 69-65 in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. A thing of beauty it wasn't, even to Pistons fans who booed in the first half but were on their feet by the end of the game. And it certainly couldn't have thrown anything resembling a scare into the Los Angeles Lakers, who will be the host for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. This will be the Pistons' first trip to the finals since 1990 when the team nicknamed "Bad Boys" for their physical style of play won their second consecutive title. It's 14 years later, and the Pistons will enter the championship round with a team that plays superb defense put struggles to put points on the board. Richard Hamilton was the highest-scoring Piston in all six games, finishing with 142 points in the first postseason series between the Pacers and Pistons since 1990. This Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals in five games.
