This was the first time any team has scored more than 90 points vs the Spurs in a finals game (14 games)

Manu hurt his knee in the opening minute. May explain his poor stats.

Would it be ok if the future game results weren't "spoilt" in thread names? Was hoping to watch the replay tonight! (if there is one!!!)

Manu goes down/is taken out of the equation and the Spurs bring nothing?! Surely they can cover Manu, yeah he is playing some great ball at the moment but surely the Spurs arnt a one man team?

I think this one was a case of the Pistons REALLY wanting it and needing it, will they come out with the same heart/passion for game 4 or will it be the emotionless Timmy Duncan and the Spurs (oh Ginobilli's Spurs) who get the win.

It will be an emotionally charged Pistons team to take the next 2 games and head back to San Antonio up 3-2.

Then they only need to win 1 game and I think they can do it.
