Piston pride
You can bet the Detroit Pistons weren’t happy with the way they played in Game 1. So to come out and shoot 49 percent in a win on the road in Game 2 — that’s a source of pride.
“We thought that Game 1, we just let one slip because we didn’t play with the intensity we needed to to win the basketball game,” said Pistons guard Rip Hamilton, who led the Pistons with 25 points. “Tonight it was like, ‘OK, guys, all year long, we say we love each other, we say we care about each other, now when we go out there, don’t leave anybody hanging’. I thought we did a great job of not leaving anybody hanging, not just on offense but on defense, and we did a great job of getting the win.”
