Cavs vs. Pistons, Game 63

CAVS (49-14) 99, DETROIT PISTONS (21-41) 92
at Quicken Loans Arena
Friday
TV: ESPN, Fox Sports Ohio
RADIO: WTAM

WHAT HAPPENED: The game was marred by a seizure by Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey in the third quarter. Everyone was a bit shaken by the incident. After the game, players, coaches and staff gathered on the court and said a group prayer.

No one remembered Stuckey getting hit or taking a hard fall. During a time out, he started shaking on the bench, as one of the Pistons' staffers hung onto him.

Cavs athletic trainer Max Benton ran across the court to Stuckey. ESPN cameras showed the scary scene on the bench.

Stuckey missed two games with "dizziness" in November 2008.
