The Pistons are going to hang on but boy did they clam up down the stretch again. Thank god for Dennis, Cade needs to be more aggressive with shots when the game tightens. First playoff win in 16 years!!!! Can't complain too much about that, LCA is gonna be a zoo for Game 3.

whoa, I can't believe we just won without Stewart, and both THJ and Beasley firing blanks all game long. Just wow.

Also winning the rebound battle by 10 without Stew, and with Ausar fouling out in limited minutes is also pretty incredible both Harris and Cade really stepped up on the boards.

Our guys should play *much* better at home. This feels good.

That's not how I would have ever pictured us getting a win but I'll take it.

If we win the series, then I can forgive Game 2 and Stew's injury.

Schroder bailed him out. He didn't want the ball.
Great win

We had a 15 game playoff losing streak?
