Orlando Magic 1, Detroit Pistons 3

ORLANDO -- The Orlando Magic lost to the Detroit Pistons 90-89 at Amway Arena Saturday night.

The Magic now trail the Pistons 3-1 in the best of seven playoff series.

So far, the Magic's only victory was Wednesday night at home.

Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups did not play Saturday after injuring his hamstring in Game 3 Wednesday. Billups was replaced by guard Rodney Stuckey Saturday night. The Pistons hope Billups will be able to return in Game 5.

Meanwhile, Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy said Billups injury did not change how the team prepared for the game.

“We just prepare. We've prepared for the series with him playing. We did spend more time on Prince and Hamilton, and our usual stuff preparing for Rasheed. It doesn't change our preparation one way or another whether he plays or not,” said Van Gundy.

“Stuckey comes in and does a great job of playing that role but obviously if Chauncey plays, it's a bigger task for me, myself and the guards, but we're preparing like he's playing,” said Jameer Nelson.

Game 5 will be played in Detroit's Palace of Auburn Hills on Tuesday.
