Detroit blew out Philadelphia in game 2 by shooting 54 ½ percent. The Pistons came out with purpose and built a large lead and kept it throughout the game, as it was never in doubt in the 4th quarter. It was evident that Detroit snapped back into their good form with their swarming defense and their hustle on the boards. The Pistons out rebounded the 76'ers by 8 in game 2. Detroit has beaten Philadelphia 5 of their last 6 games in Philadelphia with their only loss coming in Philadelphia on April 9th when the Pistons had nothing at all to play for locked as the 2 seed. Philadelphia is just 22-19 on their home court this season. Philadelphia is the worst 3 points shooting team in the league hitting on only 31.6% from beyond the arc. With the series at 1-1 I expect Detroit to come in with the mind frame they did in game 2 and that means a win and cover even on the road as a road favorite. Take Detroit –3.5.
