The sky appeared to be falling in Detroit as the Pistons, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, were the only home team to drop Game 1 in its first-round series.
That put a massive amount of pressure on the young squad that's unproven in the postseason. Detroit found itself in another dog fight with the pesky Magic in the first half of Game 2 Wednesday. The game was tied at half with both teams scoring just 46 points in the first 24 minutes. Stakes were high as the Pistons hoped to provide their fans with the franchise's first home playoff win in nearly two decades before the series went to Orlando.
