Detroit went scoreless for more than three minutes early in the fourth as Indiana whittled its deficit from nine to two. Sabonis capped that spurt off with a three-point play.

A Brogdon basket midway through the quarter cut the Pistons' lead to 86-85.

Warren's floater with 2:53 left gave Indiana its first lead at 91-90. Warren then drilled a 3-pointer after an offensive rebound to make it a four-point advantage.

Kennard answered with a 3 and Warren then traveled to give the ball back to Detroit. Rose missed on a drive but Brogdon misfired a 3 on the other end. Rose finally converted a layup with 28.3 seconds left to give Detroit a 95-94 edge.

Indiana missed two long tries on its next possession before fouling Kennard, who made the first free throw and missed the second. Drummond's tap-in on the miss was waved off for offensive goaltending.

Warren's 3-point desperation try at the buzzer fell short.
