Detroit coach Flip Saunders said fatigue could play a part as the series goes on and that too much rest may have hurt his team in Game 1.

"We just didn't seem to be in a good flow, it might have had something to do with (the layoff). We were just a step slow," Saunders said.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls won the NBA's draft lottery on Tuesday night, giving them the right to choose between top college prospects Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose.

Coming off a miserable season and still without a coach, the Bulls vaulted from the No. 9 spot, where they had just a 1.7 percent chance of landing the top choice.

They will almost certainly choose between Beasley, the Kansas State University forward who averaged 26.5 points and an US college-best 12.5 rebounds, or Rose, the point guard who carried the University of Memphis within minutes of the US college title.

The Miami Heat, who had a 25 percent chance of landing the top pick thanks to their worst 15-67 record, fell to second. The Minnesota Timberwolves will go third.

The NBA draft will be held June 26 in New York.
