Ben to the whole, 15-15. They took away one Detroit point from Billups 3. Sheed gets his second foul and in comes Dyess. Howard inbounds for Dallas to Dirk who misses to Rip. Dyess looses it still Pistons ball. Tay in to Billups to Rip to Dyess who misses and then Dallas turns it over.

Billups upcourt with 4:30 to play to Rip to Tay to Ben, airball to Tay who misses the jumper. Mavs turnover, Rip gets blocked Billups looses it out of bounds. Dirk misses. Rip hit the jumper. 17-15 Pistons. I don't like the tempo at all.

Terry misses to Billups upcourt. Rip to Dyess who looses it out of bounds. Three minutes left and Terry to Daniels to Van Horn and Pistons get it.

Timeout with 2:31 to go in the first. Pistons up 2.
