Now Detroit has to go back to the drawing board to devise a new plan for James in Game 2 tonight.

LeBron James made it look easy in the opener, finishing 13-of-20 from the floor with eight rebounds, seven assists, and didn't commit a turnover despite facing a defense designed for him.

With Tayshaun Prince hurting, the 11-point underdog Pistons may have to use either Richard Hamilton or Rodney Stuckey to guard James and rely on others to help.

Saturday's offensive output was the first time the Cavaliers have broken 100 points in 14 playoff games against the Pistons.

The favorite is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings and that trend should continue in this one. Get all your NBA playoff odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.
