ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Chauncey Billups, Shooting guard Richard Hamilton, Small forward Tayshaun Prince, Power forward Jason Maxiell, Center Rasheed Wallace. Bench -- Center Theo Ratliff, Forward/Center Antonio McDyess, Guard Arron Afflalo, Guard Rodney Stuckey.
PLAYER NOTES: --F-C Rasheed Wallace could get a suspension soon if he doesn't stop picking up technicals, though the one he got Saturday was not for complaining to the officials. Antonio McDyess and Turkoglu went nose-to-nose, jawing at each other, near the Pistons' bench with 1:35 left in the first half. As the two were separated, Wallace got in his two cents with Turkoglu. A double technical was issued for Turkoglu and Wallace but McDyess was spared. Wallace now has four playoff technicals. If he reaches seven, he'll have to serve a one-game suspension.
--F Walter Herrmann was activated for the first time in the playoffs. Coach Flip Saunders believes Herrmann can be effective defending Hedo Turkoglu. Herrmann played nine second-half minutes in Game 1.
--C Theo Ratliff not only provided some tough defense off the bench against Dwight Howard, he had six points and four rebounds in 12 minutes.
--G Chauncey Billups made only one turnover in 33 minutes, setting the tone for his team. The Pistons committed just six after averaging 17 in the first round.
