Massive start for the magic, but they are putting a lot of pressure on their starters....
Look for the experienced and deeper pistons to chip away at the lead and make a run in the fourth.
When they do, if the magic are tired look for them to try to take 3pt shots and live or die by the result.

Chauncy did his hamstring and has only played 4 mins - could be out for the series.

Prince will bring us home. Let chauncy rest up. best docs in the biz. Magic have no depth.

3/4 time and the pistons are back.

Shame about Billups but thats the danger with having a 30 plus point guard (can you hear me sixers?)

Magic need to keep their heads here, pistons won't make mistakes, its all about execution.

Again- magic starters have played a ton of minutes, Sir Charles always said three point shooters need to rest otherwise they throw it short, magic depth may just be their undoing.

Speaking of depth, check out the rook for Detroit, Stuckey, going great guns.

So much for running out of legs...Magic win a romp!
28-17 final quarter magic!
Lewis with 33 points, 5/6 from downtown!

Go Magic! Bottom line is they shot way better than the Pistons.

bottom line, is caught the pistons on a bad night. i'd be surprised if they play at that level for the rest of the series.pistons in 5 (gets on knees to pray)

From nba.com on Billups' injury:

"The Pistons were hopeful he could play in Game 4 Saturday in Orlando, but planned to re-evaluate him again Thursday."
