Magic punish Pistons

Pistons 86, Magic 111

Orlando, May. 07. - Rashard Lewis was due for a breakout game. It couldn't have come at a better time for the Orlando Magic.Lewis, Orlando's big offseason acquisition, scored a career playoff-high 33 points and the Magic beat the Detroit Pistons 111-86 on Wednesday night to gain a little momentum in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Detroit still leads the series 2-1, though they suffered a tough injury. All-Star guard Chauncey Billups strained his right hamstring early in the first quarter and didn't return. The Pistons were hopeful he could play in Game 4 Saturday in Orlando, but planned to re-evaluate him again Thursday.
