| The Detroit Pistons fought through a strong surge in the 4th quarter to emerge victorious, 90-89, over the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series. The Pistons, fighting to overcome the loss of PG Chauncey Billups, would have been lost and forgotten without the outstanding efforts of Richard Hamilton . Rip went 12-of-24 from the floor and 8-of-9 from the charity stripe to score 32 points, adding six rebounds, three assists, and two steals to the stat line. |

Billups is feeling better, but said, "It's still tough to say because it's a soft-tissue injury. It's very restrictive. Even when I try to walk kind of fast, it's restrictive. It's tough. You have to be careful." He is being slowed by a strained right hamstring.

| Chauncey Billups is feeling better today, according to the Detroit News. Billups said, "I am feeling a little better today, but it's still tough to say whether I will be ready to play in Game 4 Saturday. It's a soft tissue injury and it's tough. It's very restrictive. Even when I just try to walk fast, it's restrictive. I have to be careful." Pistons' physical therapist Arnie Kander said, "The fact that he has improved this quickly is a great sign. Usually Day 2 after you irritate a muscle feels terrible. That fact that he is walking normally is really positive."

| Chauncey Billups is still sore (due to a strained right hamstring) and isn't sure if he can play in Game 4 on Saturday, according to the AP. He said, "Just going to take it one day at a time and see what happens. But it’s feeling sore, kind of similar to last night. I felt a little something. I’m just hoping it was a strain, what I felt. But I felt something in there. I never really had a hamstring like this before."

| Chauncey Billups will likely play in Game 4 against Orlando on Saturday, according to the AP. Billups left Wednesday’s loss in Game 3 early in the first quarter, and will have a precautionary MRI on his strained right hamstring Thursday. Coach Flip Saunders said, "We’re shooting for him to play on Saturday. He’s sore right now. We won’t know for the next 24 hours where he’s really at. But all indications are that we’re shooting for him to play Saturday."
