Orlando Magic 86, Detroit Pistons 91: You want to look at this series and say, “Hey, Detroit looks like the toast of the East right now.” But then you really look at this series, and you start to scratch your head and get a little nervous.

The Pistons won, and finished this thing off in five games, but was there ever a time you were super impressed? I know they didn’t have Chauncey. I know they didn’t play their A Game and still got by. That said, this one featured one team (Detroit) turning the ball over only three times, and the other team (Orlando) turning it over 21 times.

I don’t want to rain on Detroit’s parade, but when you get 21 turnovers, and you only have 3, and you only win by 5. . . well, that’s concerning, but I guess I’m different.

The Pistons shot 36 percent from the field, but due largely in part to the turnovers, all five scorers still managed double figures, led by Rip Hamilton’s 31 points. Tayshaun had a sick block on Hedo Turkoglu’s attempted dunk towards the end of the game that would have pulled the Magic within one. Dwight Howard had 14 points and 17 rebounds for the Magic, but was only able to hit 4 field goals the entire game.

San Antonio Spurs 79, New Orleans Hornets 101: I went to bed and San Antonio was up, and I started thinking: “You know, they’re a mature, experienced team; they may actually break this ridiculous home winning streak that’s going on in the NBA right now.”

I wake up this morning, check my phone to see the score, and realize I was off. Samsonite-way-off kind of off. The Spurs were up 3 at halftime, then down by 14 at the end of the third quarter. For those that don’t feel like doing the math, they were outscored 28-11 in the third, thus capping the game, thus making home teams now 17-1 in the second round of the playoffs.

David West went off for 38 points for the Hornets, but left early with some back spasms. Chris Paul had 22 points and 14 assists, doing what he does best, scoring a lot and passing more. Tim Duncan finished with 10 points on a 5-18 shooting night, and if the Spurs want a chance to defend, they’re going to have to actually show up one of these nights in the Big Easy. The Hornets lead the series 3-2 as we shift back to San Antonio.
