The NBA world is collectively shocked the No. 1 seed is on the edge of elimination like this to the No. 8 seed, despite the remarkable scoring talent that No. 8 seed boasts; Detroit’s defense, anchored by a young up-and-coming All-Star center, seemed too good for that during the regular season.
The year is 2003.
