:

--Turnovers were key throughout the Magic-Pistons series. The Magic had 76, while the Pistons had just 44. Also key was the Magic's inability to shoot free throws. They shot just 64 percent, while the Pistons hit 86 percent.

--Magic guards Keyon Dooling, Carlos Arroyo and Maurice Evans are free agents this summer, and all are wondering if they will return. Much will depend on which other teams are interested.

--The most amazing thing about the loss to the Pistons is that All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups -- their best player -- missed Game 4 and 5 and the Pistons won both of them.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"It was amazing the game was this close." -- Coach Stan Van Gundy after his team had 21 turnovers in Game 5 against the Pistons.
