The Orlando Magic came into tonight to prove that they can play with the Detroit Pistons.  In game 1 the Pistons beat the pants off Orlando and it was no contest.  Tonight Orlando wanted to show the Pistons this wasn’t going to be no cake walk and as a team Orlando will be here for a long series.  The turning point in this game was the 2nd quarter where the Pistons out scored the Magic 21-11.  For the Pistons there were 5 players in double figures.  Lead by Chauncey Billups with 28 points.  The Pistons shot at 47% and the Magic was at 43%.  Dwight Howard who and awful time in game 1 turned it around this time for game 2.  Howard 22 points and 18 rebounds lead his team in both stats.  This game had a controversy refree Steve Javie at the end of the  third quarter Chauncey Billups hit a three pointer and it seemed it didn’t count and after all replays the conclusion came to the basket count and the Pistons were on there way to the win.  The Pistons are now up 2-0.  If you’re the Magic one thing you can take out of this game is that you can compete with the Pistons and now that your going home you should be able to tie up this best of 7 going back to the Palace.  Game 3 will take place in Orlando.
