Eastern Conf Finals (Game 2) Highlight

The Pistons show that they are the best team in the East.

The P's are resilient and mentally strong. They keep hitting tough shots through Celtics' defence, and making key stops in the final minutes. The C's have staged several comeback attempts, but each time the P's answer. And it is not just one or two players, everybody from starters to the bench (Rodney Stuckey) have stepped up.

The Big Three combines 75 points in a losing effort.

The problem now is how the Celtics can win at least a game in Detroit, with the Big Three have already played at near peak efficiency and still comes up short. Doc Rivers have blamed it on C's defence. Sure, the C's fails to switch to Richard Hamilton and leaves Kevin Garnett in a mis-match, and no one is guarding Chauncey Billups when he catches the in-bound pass for a layup under the basket in the final minute.



So it remains to be seen if the C's has to play a perfect road game in order to get a win.
