The Orlando Magic got a career playoff high 33 points from Rashard Lewis and defeated the Detroit Pistons 111-86 in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semi-final series.
The news got even worse for Detroit. Star guard Chauncey Billups was lost just four minutes into the game when he sustained a hamstring injury while driving to the basket. The status for Billups for Game 4 is definitely up in the air at this point.
In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers take a 2-0 series lead over Utah with a 120-110 win in LA Wednesday night. League MVP Kobe Bryant scored 34 points and Lamar Odom knocked down 19 and also grabbed 16 rebounds.
