Spicing it up: Magic and Pistons trade barbs before Game 2

May 5, 2008 - 10:21AM

AUBURN HILLS (AP) - The trash talking is under way between the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic, one game into their best-of-seven second-round NBA playoff series.

Detroit won Game 1 last night 91-72 at The Palace of Auburn Hills, which is site for Game 2 Monday night.

Today, the Pistons' Theo Ratliff referred to Magic forward Rashard Lewis as someone who's not worth worrying about.

It came one day after Lewis took down Ratliff with a physical foul midway through the fourth quarter and Detroit's Jason Maxiell got in Lewis's face.

Lewis responded that Ratliff should try guarding him if he thinks Lewis is no threat.
