Hitting open jumpers, grabbing gritty offensive boards, and diving for loose balls- there was a win to be had and Antonio McDyess wasn’t soon going to let it slip away.

Finishing the night with a huge 21 points and 16 rebounds, Antonio once again showed his priceless worth to a team that often searches for a leader.

“You only have so many opportunities, and they’re limited, especially for me,” [McDyess] said. “I’m at the end of my career, and I just feel like leaving everything out on the floor.”

And then there was this.

The epiphany of what the Pistons strive for – hustle. In a block that rivaled Tayshaun’s ‘04 swat, Jason Maxiell snatched 2 points away from the KG and gave Detroit the early power boost it had been looking for in the series. A little bit of the highlight reel never hurt anyone, right?

By and large, a crucial win for the Pistons. To go down 3-1 and be forced to win two games in Boston would have been a daunting task, to say the least. Unfortunately, due to the Game 3 debacle, they’re still going to have to steal one from Celtic turf to prevent another Conference Finals disappointment.

Look for the Pistons to come out firing Wednesday, they will need a win and they will need it bad.

All Game 7’s need not apply.
