Although they were behind, the Warriors fans in the stands were still cheering vigorously.
John Cage was exceptionally energetic, firmly believing that the outcome of this legendary night would not change, absolutely not!
In the third quarter, when both starting lineups returned to the court, the situation was once again under the Warriors' control.
Hamilton was again entangled by Tayshaun Prince, and Artest, who had put too much effort into offense, almost had no shooting percentage to speak of.
Chauncey Billups relied on mid-range shots to keep the game afloat, but by the fourth minute of the third quarter, the Warriors had regained the lead.
Another lead change, another shift in game dominance.
This is estimated to be the most evenly matched Finals matchup in recent years.
But the Pistons were not left too far behind; after all, when the Warriors didn't play a big four small spacing lineup, their offense wasn't as freewheeling.
