| 0:02.1 | We're going to spend most of our morning talking about the Pistons. Rough loss last night. We talked about it being more or less a near must-win situation for the Pistons, and they did not. So now they put themselves in a real hole down 3-1 in their best of seven opening round series against the magic in a 1-8 matchup.
