Some say that the Pistons got a little help from the clock that was malfunctioning yesterday when Detroit took a 2-0 lead in the series against the Magic by winning 100 to 93.
But in reality those were just a few seconds, nothing out of ordinary, and nothing that could really have changed the fate of the Magic, but hey, when you lose, you always find excuses. The clock started to go wrong after a 3 pointer by guard Chauncey Billups at the end of the third quarter, it stopped incorrectly going from 5.1 seconds to 4.8 and then stopped at 4.1 seconds.
All in all, the Pistons and the Magic played a truly balanced game, there were no outstanding leads, just good ol’ basketball, with Billups scoring 28 points for Detroit and Dwight Howard finishing with 22 for Orlando.
But even though they play equally, there is only one winner, and now the Magic is heading home for game 3 knowing that they must win or the Pistons would put them in a serious situation with a possible 3 in a row, and with the rythm that Detroit is playing lately, it would not come as a surprise if they beat Orlando one more time, after all, they have won 9 straight playoff games against the Magic, and if they manage to win 2 more, they will become the first team since the 84-89 Lakers to make it to the conference title for six straight seasons, not bad at all...
