Detroit are ahead of Brooklyn in the Eastern Conference Semifinals 1-0 after beating Brooklyn in close 90-83 game. For much of the game, it looked like Brooklyn would be able to pull off the win, thanks in large part to an outstanding performance by Hargrove. But the tide finally turned in the end, with Detroit star Price leading his team to victory.

"Definitely a great game," said Detroit coach David Smith after the game. "The fans got their money's worth out of it, and both teams put up a good fight. We're just glad that we were able to finish strong and get the W. Price was a big part of that, and I don't think we'd have won without his efforts."

Detroit was led by Price (6 points, 5 boards, 14 assists, 4 steals), Lacroix (15 points, 11 boards, 0 assists, 2 steals, 4 blocks), Degraff (24 points). Brooklyn was led by Hargrove (15 points, 6 boards, 1 assists, 8 blocks), Owens (28 points, 4 assists), Jeanlouis (11 points, 15 boards, 0 assists, a steal, a block).
