Pistons takes 3-1 lead on series with Magic

Ok, I’ve being talking mostly about the Lakers and the Celtics lately, but there is a series that is quite interesting, and the only one to be 3-1 at this stage. I’m talking about the Pistons – Magic, and Detroit is just one game away to make it to the NBA Estern Conference finals for the sixth consecutive time.

Just one point defined the victory for the Pistons since final score was 90-89, with Richard Hamilton coming with a game-high 32 points and Rasheed Wallace finishing with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals for Detroit. While for the Magic, Dwight Howard has being held to only 15 points per game in average which has contributed alot to the recent Orlando’s losses.

Rasheed Wallace has also slowed down on his point percentage per game, but he’s being the one with the task on putting a stop to Howard, who averages 29 per game in most of his career, and so Wallace is not the type of player who get frustrated about his numbers, instead, he preffers to focus on team victories, and that is what has the Pistons where they are right now... for Detroit is all about team work, period.

The Pistons won this game without their captain and All-Star Chauncey Billups due to injuries, and with this victory, the Pistons are the only team who was won a road game on this second round of the 2008 NBA playoffs.
