Result:
WIN

The Pistons were shocked in game one as nearly a double-digit favorite and that spells trouble here for the Sixers. The Pistons were definitely stung by that loss and now realize they took the game too lightly. We expect an inspired performance in game two by Detroit to atone for that embarrassment. This round of the NBA playoffs has seen the road team win game one, only to lose game two 18 of 22 times since the 96-97 season. Of those 18 wins, 14 have been double-digit blowouts! The Pistons were one such team in 02-03, when they dropped the opener to Orlando. They returned in game two to lay a double-digit win on the Magic. Detroit is 10-1 ATS thiss season at home off a loss. That includes a perfect 7-0 ATS mark if the loss was an upset. They won those seven games by an average of 15 ppg! History (of the league and of Detroit specifically) says the play here is on the Pistons.
