It's been a hard-fought series, but the Pistons are now one win away from advancing.

Detroit knocked off the 76ers, 98-81, in yesterday's Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead. According to the Associated Press, "Chauncey Billups scored 21 points, Richard Hamilton had 20 and Rasheed Wallace added 19." Can they close out Philly on Thursday?
