In Game 5, we'll see what San Antonio is really made of. After being embarassed in the last two games, I see San Antonio bringing their "A" game, and getting the outright win. Game 4 was a must-win for Detroit, knowing that if the series went 3-1 with two potential games to be played in San Antonio, that they were toast. With the series now tied up, I look for San Antonio to keep the game close and hopefully pull out a win in Game 5. I'm taking the +3 1/2 points just for insurance, but probably won't need it. Lastly, it's Sunday with the home team laying a small number coming off of two double-digit blowout wins. To me, this says to take the underdog or no play at all. Strong lead towards the UNDER but not touching it. Good luck either way.
