The Phoenix Suns may have had the best record in the NBA regular season, but the Spurs proved they are the team to beat as they took a 2-0 lead over the Suns tonight. It's hard to believe a game could be played better than this one. Both teams shot over 50% from the field and over 70% from the free throw line. The Spurs hit the big shots when it counted, though, and they looked every bit like the playoff toughened team they are.
Last night, in somewhat of an upset, Detroit dealt the Miami Heat their first loss of the playoffs. Shaq played, but still seemed somewhat gimpy on his injured thigh. The Pistons defense had Dwyane Wade rattled from the beginning and he ended up shooting just 7-25 from the field. A lot of people, including me, forgot how good the Pistons defense really is. It won them a title last year and could do the same this year.
