Game Preview: Pistons Head Home in Must Win Game
The Pistons have fallen behind in Round One of the NBA Playoffs 2-0 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They played a spirited Game 1 in Cleveland, but fell 106-101 in an action packed game. Then, in Game 2, the wheels fell of for Detroit as they were blown out by a motivated Cavalier team.
Now, Detroit heads home for a pivotal set of games. Down 2-0, the Pistons are back at The Palace Of Auburn Hills, where they will find a loud Palace crowd.
