Cavs show life, but Pistons go up 2-0

Earlier today I said that the Cleveland Cavaliers needed to show some life and get a "moral victory" tonight to gain the confidence needed heading back to Cleveland for Game 3. If the Cavs were going to lose, they needed to make sure this was not a blowout. As the game unfolded this game had all the makings of a blowout as the Pistons led by as many as 20 in the 3rd Quarter and by 18 heading into the 4th Quarter. But LeBron James led the Cavs surge to make a game of it as Cleveland cut the lead to 5 with under 2 minutes remaining. Unfortunately for the Cavs their comeback came up short as the Pistons hung on for a 2-0 series lead with a 97-91 victory.
