Game 5 gave Detroit a home win that will take the Pistons directly to the 2008 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. The final result 91-86 kicked Orlando Magic out of the way.
This time Richard Hamilton took the lead for the Pistons, scoring 31 points. It seems the fact that they were missing Chauncey Billups wasn’t so tragic after all. Even though Orlando had the chance to reach them, during the final minute Tayshaun Prince blocked the dunk that could change the results. Even Orlando’s leader for the night, Hedo Turkoglu, couldn’t keep up, just scoring 19 points.
The result is great for all basketball betting fans that were waiting to finally have some decisive teams to consider when making their NBA betting strategy. The Pistons come with a great opportunity to win and a lot of strength.
Now their next challenge will be the expected Eastern Conference Finals. My obvious forecast is that they will end up facing the Boston Celtics very soon. But nothing’s final until four games are won and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still an option. We will soon find out who will be the fierce contender that will have to face Detroit on the last -but most important- games.
