在以88比94输掉与奥兰多魔术队的季后赛第四场比赛后，底特律活塞队陷入1比3的绝境。他们即将回到主场迎接第五场比赛，历史数据站在他们这一边。弗朗茨·瓦格纳因小腿拉伤提前离场，能否出战下一场比赛仍存疑，而2003年活塞队从同样的比分劣势中成功翻盘的往事，为他们带来了希望。
作为头号种子的活塞队在第三场和第四场比赛的末节曾一度追平或领先，如今他们正面临被淘汰的危机，但可以从2003年首轮对阵道格·里弗斯执教的魔术队时的表现中汲取灵感。当时在1比3落后的情况下，底特律连胜三场强势逆转：第五场（98比67）、第六场（103比88）和第七场（108比93）。他们成为唯一一支在七场四胜制首轮系列赛中从1比3落后翻盘的头号种子。昌西·比卢普斯在第六场和第七场分别砍下40分和37分，本·华莱士则坐镇防守端。时任主教练里克·卡莱尔称赞了主场球迷的助威以及针对特雷西·麦格雷迪的战术调整，后者在系列赛初期场均得到36.3分，但在最后三场比赛中投篮命中率跌至36.1%。那支活塞队最终挺进东部决赛。尽管奥兰多目前在系列赛中领先，但如果活塞队能在主场赢得第五场，将有望将系列赛拖入第六场乃至潜在的第七场决胜局。
