The Detroit Pistons advanced to their sixth-straight Eastern Conference Finals after eliminating the Orlando Magic with a 91-86 win on Tuesday night.

The Pistons trailed by three heading into the fourth quarter, but used a 26-18 edge over the final twelve minutes to clinch the semifinal series.

They made the comeback with Chauncey Billups on the sidelines, the second-straight game he missed after injuring his hamstring in Game Three.

Richard Hamilton starred with 31 points and Antonio McDyess added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Pistons, who shot just 36% on the night but turned the ball over just five times.

Tayshaun Prince, who added 10 points and 7 rebounds in the win, blocked a dunk attempt by Hedo Turkoglu in the final moments that would have trimmed Detroit's lead to one.

Dwight Howard posted 14 points and 17 rebounds and Hedo Turkoglu tallied 18 points, 9 boards and 7 assists for the Magic, who hit 47% of their shot attempts but turned the ball over 20 times.

Rashard Lewis struggled, scoring 14 points and grabbing 8 rebounds on 4-for-13 shooting in the loss.

Guard Jameer Nelson predicted an Orlando victory heading into the decisive game.

Down five with the chance to trim the lead in the final seconds, the Magic turned the ball over. A perfect microcosm of what happened to Orlando in Game Five.

They outshot and outrebounded the Pistons, but beat themselves with the aforementioned twenty miscues and horrible shooting from the foul line (16-for-28).

Detroit will now await the winner of the Boston/Cleveland series, as Chauncey Billups tries to heal in time for the start of the Eastern Finals.
