In the BOSTON GLOBE, Bob Ryan writes "consider this a master class. Consider this a statement. Consider this a vivid reminder that man cannot live on home-court advantage alone, not if the stated goal is an NBA championship. What a wonderful night this was to be a member of, the coach of, the owner of, or just a plain old fan of the Detroit Pistons. This was a demonstration of professionalism. This was the way a good team acts. A split in Boston was all they asked for, and now they have it. They weren't quite themselves in Tuesday's Game 1, but they saw enough good things to know they only needed to tinker a bit and raise the level of their game a degree or two. That's exactly what they did, and the result was last night's 103-97 victory over the Celtics."
