Drive big man Donta Hall wasted no time dominating the court tonight by earning an impressive double-double with 22 points and 19 total rebounds, with 11 coming on the offensive end, in addition to 3 blocks. Hall earned his double-double just two minutes into the second quarter, with a foundation of 11 points and 10 rebounds. Adam Woodbury added another 17 points and 6 rebounds to the stat line off the bench. Khalil Iverson contributed 10 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Pistons two-way player Louis King matched Iverson's 10 points with 4 rebounds and assists of his own. Guard Tra-Deon Hollins was just short of a double-double, earning 9 points and 9 assists.

The Suns were led by Notre Dame product Matt Farrell who racked up 19 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds. Ike Nwamu followed up with 13 points. Other Suns players in double figures were Ahmed Hill (12 points, 2 rebounds & 2 assists), Aaron Epps (11 points & 3 rebounds), Trayvon Palmer (10 points & 4 rebounds) and Keljin Blevins (10 points & 6 rebounds).

The Drive dominated the Suns after turning up the intensity in the second half, resulting in the home team controlling the pace of the game. Grand Rapids proved themselves as one of the best defensive teams in league by earning 56 rebounds compared to 37 for the Suns.
