Pistons rout Magic 91-72 in Game 1 of second-round series
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Hedo Turkoglu's uncontested dunk early in the second half gave the Orlando Magic their first lead. Less than a minute later, the Detroit Pistons took over.
Chauncey Billups had 19 points, seven assists and played a key role in the decisive run of the game, leading Detroit to a 91-72 win over Orlando on Saturday night in Game 1 of the second-round series.
Dwight Howard had a relatively quiet night with 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks after being the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score 20 points and grab 20 rebounds in three playoff games since Wilt Chamberlain did it in 1972.

This series better go 7 or the winner of the Cavs/TBA series is going to be tired when they have to play in the next round. I like the Magic regardless of the loss in game one.
