NBA Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons

The Cavs vs. The Bad Boys

Detroit defeated Cleveland in seven games during last season’s conference semifinals, they beat Cleveland 3 out of 4 in the regular season and the first two games of the Eastern finals before the Cavaliers came up with two emotional home wins in Cleveland to even the series (2–2).

In all 4 games the cavaliers played well in the first half only to get destroyed by the pistons in the 3rd quarter of each game.

In Game 1 3rd quarter LeBron hit just 2 of 5 for 4 points and the team scored only 14 points. Game 2 Detroit erased a 12 point Cleveland half time lead as LeBron went 0 for 1 with 0 points and the Cavaliers scored a total of 13 points. Game 3 in Cleveland LeBron was held to just 1 free throw as the cavaliers lost a 3 point half time lead. Game 4 LeBron went 0 – 6 as Detroit erased a 7 point Cleveland half time lead.

With game 5 in Detroit tonight the Cavaliers must find away to not fall out in the 3rd quarter. If the Pistons take game 5 in Auburn hills, Mich. (3- 2) the series will again continue in Cleveland for game 6. It seems to be a must win game tonight for the Cavaliers. Winning tonight in Detroit will set the stage for the knock out punch in Cleveland game 6.
