Auburn Hills - Detroit - Michigan

"The Pistons roll over the 76ers as soon as the ball was in the air. The ExChampions of the NBA had a great first quarter. On the other side the 76ers had their worst quarter start in the whole season/playoffs. They appeared to be very tired from the Celtics series specially the inside players such as Samuel Dalembert and Udonis Huslem. K.Korver was letting Tayshaun Prince opened adn couldn´t help to stop Richard Hamilton from scoring. The inside offence of the Pistons lead by Rasheed Wallce was making the difference. The Pistons took a early 10 point lead. But soon the Palace was sileced as the 76ers started to play a lot better they were able to stoped the Pistons and start seen the open men under the rim. Eddie House did a great job managing the clock and making the assists. Before the first half ended an occour situatuion happened as four players got injured for the 76ers Udonis Huslem and Dikember Mutombo had to left the court soon afterwards Detroit suffered two lost Derrick Coleman and Antonio McDyess. When the first half finished the 76ers had a confortable lead by 11 points. During the whole second part the 76ers rised up by getting a 12 point lead that Detroit would never reach. The 76ers controled the second part because their bench players were able to help the team to get some rest. Detroit was closed at the end of the game but they were short on the last couple of shots."
