The Cleveland Cavaliers have numerous reasons for wanting to win game four. A win would put pressure on the Pistons, a win would be sentimental for the Hughes family, and now an even better one, a win would prove Rasheed Wallace wrong.
After losing a close battle with LeBron James and the Cavs, Wallace proclaimed that Monday would be the last game this year in Cleveland for the Cavaliers. He proceeded to predict that the Pistons would “kick their butts” in game four. This type of prediction is exactly what Cleveland needed to keep their heads in the game. The pressure clearly has shifted to the Pistons after winning the first two games.
The Cavaliers need to show the same patience and determination as in game three and tie this series up. Detroit, still the decided favorite, would have to start second guessing themselves if this young and inexperienced Cleveland team won two in a row.
