June 21, 2005Game 6 Pistons - SpursIt's Do or Die for the Pistons Wow what a game! After a heartbreaking loss in Game 5 of the 2005 NBA championship, the Detroit Pistons were able to go into San Antonio and win a game. The amazing thing is that the Pistons had not won a game in San Antonio in almost ten years and the Spurs had only lost a few games at home all year. The San Antonio Spurs didn't do themselves any favors by scheduling the victory parade for this coming Thursday. This was definitely locker room material and gave the Detroit Pistons some extra incentive to win. The score was close the entire game with both teams going up by a few points throughout the first three quarters. The Detroit Pistons were in front for the majority of the final quarter going up by as many as 7 points with a few minutes left. San Antonio made a small run but Detroit was too much and wound up winning by 9 points. Rasheed Wallace and Richard Hamilton had huge games for the Pistons. Rasheed played the last 5 minutes with 5 fouls and he turned out to be the difference in the game. Now its on to game 7 which I believe they said is the first game 7 in the NBA in 7 years and only the second game 7 in the last 17 years. Interesting note: The home team had won each of the first 4 games before the Spurs were able to break serve in Game 5. Stay tuned for an exciting Game 7 between the Spurs and the Pistons. We'll see which team puts on the 2005 NBA Championship Hat. Posted by Dogger at June 21, 2005 11:00 PM CommentsPost a comment |
