In an already spectacular opening weekend, the Sixers decided to up the ante a little bit. After being down as many as 15 in the third quarter, the Sixers stormed back and upset the Pistons 90-86 to take a 1-0 series lead in Detroit. If someone told you that Andre Iguodala was going to have only 16 points off of 4 of 15 shooting, and Rasheed Wallace would have 24 points and nine rebounds, you'd probably think the Pistons won. Likewise, if I told you that the Sixers only shot 42% from the field, and only 33% in the first half, you'd think the Pistons won. And in fact, Detroit was shooting 48% at the half. They ended up at 39% for the game. The Pistons failed to score more than 20 points in either of the two final quarters.
So who was the hero of the day for the Sixers? Thaddeus Young? Nope. Louis Williams? Nuh-uh. Andre Miller? Well, he did have 20 points to lead the Sixers, but no. It was Reggie Evans. Yeah. That guy. Evans scored 11 points and 14 rebounds, including a game clinching put-back to secure the win.
After the game, Mo Cheeks looked about as happy as a guy that knocked off the Pistons at home to take a series lead. Wait a second ... that's him. And Rasheed Wallace looked as shocked as everyone else in America.
The NBA Playoffs. Where "Vegas Just Offed Itself" Happens.
Perhaps most mystifying is the fact that "Mr. Big Shot" Chauncey Billups did not take the shot on either of Detroit's possessions inside 30 seconds with a chance to tie or take the lead. After Billups pulled the Pistons within one with free throws, Teyshaun Prince missed and 18 footer and Rasheed Wallace missed an eight foot jumper on Detroit's final possessions. Detroit's famous for letting up in certain series; it looks like they've decided to get started early with that this year.
