Bad box score?

[elindholm]

According to Yahoo's on-line box scores, the Pistons have only 12 rebounds as a team at halftime against the Pacers. Ben Wallace has 2. Can this be possible? 12 rebounds in a half for a whole team? They do have 9 additional "team rebounds," but still.

The Blazers had similiar rebounding numbers against the Suns in the first quarter.

22-9 very late in the 2nd if I remember that right.

Yeah, but the Blazers suck.

Come on the Blazers are an elite team, which is what makes the Suns victories so impressive....

The Pacers beat the Pistons, 81 to 69 (second game of back to back) but the Pistons out rebounded the Pacers 38 to 37. Both teams ran a slow down offense because no one shot well, 37.8% by the Pacers and 39.1% by the Pistons but the Pacers hit 42.9% of their 3's (6 of 14) to only 1 of 5 by the Pistons.
