Detroit, you are seeing a much different Magic basketball team this go-round.

The Magic pounded the Pistons in game three 111-86. Can we bottle the first and fourth quarters of this game? The Magic outscored Detroit 30-16 in the first and 38-17 in the final.

In that fourth quarter, I must admit, my collar was getting tight. The Pistons had cut what was once an 18 point deficit down to just four going into the final period. Then, that resolve I mentioned kicked in!

Rashard Lewis began the fourth with a huge three to make it 76-69. It's a shot that kickstarted a whopping 11-0 surge that ended all Piston hope for a commanding 3-0 lead in this series. Now, this IS a series thanks to Rashard and his three friends.

One game after 6-21 from the field with six turnovers and four missed shots in the final three minutes, Rashard made amends in a monumental way. He scored a career played high 33 points on 11-15 from the field and 5-6 from beyond the arc. Rashard set the tone all night long with his aggressive drives and dead-eye shooting.

Dwight Howard adds a ho-hum 20 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots. Superman must have altered 15 of those Piston shots. We can ill afford to have him off the floor. Dwight played over 44 minutes for the second straight game.

Jameer Nelson continues to rise to the occasion in the playoffs as Jameer totaled 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Jameer's getting to the hole when he wants and he's defending his position better than ever.

Hedo Turkoglu got untracked in this series with eight of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, as Turk hit a couple of huge three-point daggers in the fourth.

A huge key to this series will be the status of Piston leader Chauncey Billups, who suffered a strained right hamstring in the first quarter. Piston coach Flip Saunders says that he expects Billups to play in Saturday's game four. But, it makes you wonder, even if Billups goes Saturday, will he be close to 100%?

Billups or no Billups, people continue to doubt the Orlando Magic....and the Orlando Magic continue to prove them wrong.
