Pistons escape 24-point hole vs. Magic, head home for Game 7
On Friday, the 1-seed Detroit Pistons defeated the 8-seed Orlando Magic 93-79, forcing a decisive Game 7 on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
Trailing 3-1 in the series, the Pistons rallied from a 24-point first-half deficit in Game 6 behind guard Cade Cunningham, who scored 32 points.
Orlando suffered a historic shooting drought in the fourth quarter, missing 23 consecutive shots while shooting just 5% from the field.
Detroit holds a 4-0 home record in Game 7s; the winner advances to face either the Cleveland Cavaliers or Toronto Raptors, with tickets starting at roughly $135.
Only 13 teams in NBA history have successfully overcome a 3-1 playoff deficit, giving the Pistons a chance to secure their first Game 7 win in nearly 20 years.
