THE PRINCE OF SWAT SEND PISTONS TO ECF!

Forget about the King for a while.

All Hail The Prince!
Here's the series-winning defensive gem Tayshaun Prince had in Game 5 against Most Improved Player of the Year Hedo Turkoglu.





How important was this play? Had Turkoglu scored, it would have been a one point game where the Magic could have fouled, then had the chance to either win the game or send it into overtime. But they never got the chance because of this block.

And you remember Prince's block on Miller don't you?


Just goes to show why defense wins championships.

GOING CLUTCH!

Pistons must be running on diesel, coz they started out cold but kept getting hotter and hotter.

With one of their key cogs still missing, the Pistons weren't firing at all cylinders but still managed to get the job done in a thriller in Magic-land, 90-89.

Tayshaun Prince, probably one of the quietest NBA stars around, drove a dagger into the hearts of Magic fans with just 8 seonds left and Orlando didn't have any magic lef tin them, squandering an 11 point halftime lead and a chance to even the series up.

Hedo Turkoglu led the Magic with 20points but didn't get much help from Dwight Howard, who scored 8points on 25% shooting.

Now, the Magic have the uneviable task of winning 3 straight to get to the Conference finals. Can they do it?
