This is basically a must-win for Detroit if it hopes have any real shot in the series. The Pistons were competitive in Game 1 and started fast in Game 2, but couldn’t close the deal. Their young players continue to talk, which could certainly backfire, but also forces them to have to step up at home. The Pistons are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 after a failed cover.
