Problem with that is you waste two bench players in one instance right there. Then when you need to PH for a reliever, you don't have many more options to choose from.
And now they're trailing by one. They do this a lot. But they'll come back with a strong 4th and win it. So much for a strong 4th. 77-76 Detroit with 4:15 left. Not very Piston-like. But they're still in position to win the game.
