Lewis, Ratliff getting chippy after Game 1
Published 5/4/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NBA
The Detroit-Orlando series is not as intriguing as the other three matchups in the NBA playoffs.
The Pistons and Magic are trying to change that.
A day after Detroit beat Orlando 91-72 in Game 1 of their second-round series, players on both teams took verbal swipes at each other.
Magic forward Rashard Lewis took down Theo Ratliff with a physical foul midway through the fourth quarter, and Jason Maxiell quickly got in Lewis' face with a menacing look and choice words.
