Henderson's great game led Detroit to a 103-81 upset of Indiana. "He really gave us the win," said winning coach David Smith. "I think the rest of the team really felt intimidated coming in, but Henderson showed them that we could pull off the win. You could really see the confidence build as time went on."

Williams paced Indiana, but his effort was not enough. "It's easy to blame the star when we come up short," said Indiana coach Coach Hitch. "But really, if we all played like him we'd have won. It's just that we sometimes take him for granted and sit around watching him dominate. Today's game served as a wake-up call for the rest of the team."

Detroit was led by Henderson (17 points, 3 steals), Day (9 points, 16 boards, 0 assists, a block), Degraff (19 points, 0 assists, a block). Indiana was led by Williams (15 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a block), Cato (20 points), Holmes (14 points, a steal, a block).
