Cleveland Cavaliers: Cavs face Pistons in Game 5 tied 2-2

After the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Pistons at their own game on Monday night, the Pistons remained confident. Rasheed Wallace didn't make any more guarantees, but he reamained confident that the Pistons would win the series. But in tonight's Game 5 the pressure is on Detroit. The Cavs have shown that they can beat Detroit in their type of defensive-minded, low-scoring game, and a 3rd straight loss for the Pistons would have them on the brink of elimination in Cleveland on Friday night. The Cavs, on the other hand, need to remain cool about their recent success and build off of their confidence-building wins. A loss tonight would not be devestating at all; most people thought the Pistons would win this series in 4 or 5 games. However, even if the Cavs were down 3-2 going into Friday night the Cavs will host Game 6 in Cleveland where they are 2-0 in this series and 4-1 in the 2006 NBA playoffs.

Meanwhile, it was announced today that LeBron James was the top vote-getter for the all-NBA team this season.
