Pistons-Heat

Sun-Sentinel

Last year, given the opportunity to stomp out the Pistons’ hopes, the Heat failed to put its foot down after going up 2-1 and didn’t have much of a leg to stand on after going up 3-2 in a series that ultimately led to a seventh-game disappointment. Should the Heat go up 3-1, it would become the 125th team to do so in an NBA playoff series. Of the previous 124, 116 have advanced. Should the Heat lose, it would surrender the homecourt advantage it gained in the opener in Detroit, and fall into a 2-2 tie in a series that then would feature two of the remaining three games at the Palace of Auburn Hills, with only Friday’s Game 6 remaining at AmericanAirlines Arena.Against that backdrop, it would appear the Heat would have just as much motivation as Detroit tonight. Detroit not only recovered from a 3-2 deficit in the previous round to eliminate Cleveland, but recovered from a 2-1 deficit in last season’s second round against Indiana, a 3-2 deficit in the 2004 second round against New Jersey and a 3-1 first-round deficit in 2003 against Orlando.
