Granger, Pacers handle PistonsBasketball Betting Lines01/22/2010 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danny Granger scored a team-high 25 points and Brandon Rush made 5-of-8 from three-point range and finished with 19 points, as the Indiana Pacers claimed a 105-93 win over the Detroit Pistons in a Central Division matchup at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Troy Murphy went for 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Mike Dunleavy and Roy Hibbert each contributed 14 points apiece for the Pacers, who were able to rebound from a 109-98 setback at Orlando on Wednesday and snapped a three-game slide in the process. Richard Hamilton led all scorers with 27 points and Jonas Jerebko finished with 14 points and seven rebounds for Detroit, which gained an impressive 92-86 win over Boston on Wednesday and had won four of five coming into the contest following a 13-game losing streak. Indiana was up by as many as 14 in the early going and had a 31-19 lead after the opening quarter. However, Jerebko's layup finished off a 16-2 Pistons run to get his squad within four, 47-43, with 1:35 left in the half. The Pacers answered with three-pointers from Rush and Granger sandwiched around another Jerebko layup to put Indiana ahead 53-45 at the intermission. Murphy's layup to open the third quarter started an 11-0 Pacers burst to build the lead up to 64-45 just over two minutes in. Dahntay Jones' dunk in the final second had Indiana in front 85-67 after three and Detroit never threatened the outcome in the fourth quarter. Game Notes These two rivals split four matchups a year ago and despite the loss, the Pistons have still won 11 of the last 16 meetings in the series...Indiana improved to 5-18 on the road this season...Ben Gordon (groin) missed the contest for Detroit, while Pacers rookie forward Tyler Hansbrough sat out with an inner ear infection...Pistons center Ben Wallace finished with nine points, six rebounds and one blocked shot and needs six blocks to reach 2,000 for his career.

The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
