Pistons @ Heat (2-2)-- Pivotal Game 5 here, as series has gotten higher scoring as series goes on (totals of 171 178-217-202). Detroit shotmaking has been a deciding factor in these games, as Pistons shot 38.3% and 43.9% in their losses, 45.7% and 48.1% in wins. Games have also gotten more physical, as total free throws in the four games have been 22-46-97-78, with very few turnovers (totals: 19-32-18-18). Shaq needs a big game tonight; in Game 4, he had very ordinary numbers.
