What was harder for the Detroit Pistons, losing home court advantage or the circumstances of how it happened?

The Milwaukee Bucks deserved to win Game 2, yet the Pistons were still in with a chance to win the game down two points with 4.1 seconds left.

The Pistons 11 game home winning streak all but ended at this time when the ball sailed out of Rasheed Wallace's hands and out of bounds as he set up for a potential winning three-pointer.

"It definitely was a wakeup call," said Chauncey Billups. "I said before this series this was a tough team. To me it's like playing a four seed. We didn't have the same intensity for the first 45 minutes that we had for the last three. I think some of you guys might have taken them lightly, but I knew they would keep coming at us."

Redd agreed.

"We should have been a fourth seed and we gave that away," he said. "But we're a tough team. We deserve to be here."

Richard Hamilton was thrown out of the game with 4:58 left in the fourth quarter after his second technical foul.  He had 18 points.
