Against any other team sitting all five starters would not be very smart; it would almost guarantee a loss. With a playoff spot locked up the Indiana Pacers could afford to throw a game away so imagine the surprise when the reserves were able to pull off a win.
They didn't just win though. They got the conference lead back for Indiana!
The star of the show was Chris Copeland, a first year player out of Colorado, who came off the bench to score 18 points in 17 minutes including this game winning lay-up with just seconds on the clock.
In case the win wasn't enough to make the team happy the Miami Heat fell to the Memphis Grizzlies moving the Pacers back on top of the East by .005 points. The team will look to expand on that lead when it takes on the Heat in Miami Friday.
