PISTONS TAKE 2-1 LEAD
Detroit took a very important 2-1 series lead over Los Angeles last night with a 20 point dismantling of the all-star team a.k.a. Lakers. Out of the previous 31 series that were tied 1-1, the team that wins game three is 27-4. That bodes very well for the Pistons, who still have two more games at home before returning to Los Angeles for Games 6 and 7 (if necessary).

All the "experts" were saying that there would be a sweep by Los Angeles. I did go as far as to say I think the series would go a minimum of six games, but I admit I wasn't confident enough to say that I thought Detroit would win it all. Still, the series is only 2-1 and who knows, the Lakers could end up winning this series 4-2.
