Tuesday May 13, 2008

Here at About.com, we'll be following each day of the 2008 NBA Playoffs - nothing too in-depth with these posts, but a bit of a recap that gives a couple of brief sentences or so, the final results, as well as links to the boxscore.

Richard Hamilton helps the Detroit Pistons win over the Orlando Magic

Detroit Pistons 90, Orlando Magic 89 @ Orlando / Box Score

Down 55-44 at halftime, the Pistons came up big defensively in the second half, allowing only 34 points in the second half. Detroit was without the services of Chauncey Billups, but were still able to pull out a victory on the road thanks in part to Richard Hamilton's 32 points. Pistons lead series 3-1.

Boston Celtics 84, Cleveland Cavaliers 108 @ Cleveland / Box Score

It's good to be home. LeBron James and Cav company were able to run off a big-time win that gave the Cavaliers their first victory in the series. Delonte West and LBJ each scored 21 points, hitting seven three-pointers combined. Ray Allen's shooting woes continued as he only shot 4-for-12 from the field, including 0-for-5 from beyond the arch. Celtics lead series 2-1.
