Pistons Rally Past Magic 93-79 to Force Game 7 — Where To Watch Orlando Magic Vs Detroit Pistons

The Pistons erased a 24-point deficit and beat the Magic 93-79 in Game 6 Friday night, turning where to watch orlando magic vs detroit pistons into a result nobody saw coming from the way Orlando started. Detroit tied the best-of-7 first-round series 3-3 and sent it to Game 7 at home on Sunday.

Cade Cunningham Drives Detroit

Cade Cunningham put together the line that powered the comeback: 32 points, 10 rebounds and four steals. He scored 19 points in the fourth quarter alone, and Detroit used a 42-10 run after falling behind by 24 early in the third quarter to grab an 80-72 lead with 5:14 remaining.

That surge did more than flip the score. The Pistons had already shown this series they could bury Orlando in a quarter, using a 30-3 third-quarter run in Game 2, and Friday’s finish carried the same pressure all the way to the final whistle.

Orlando’s Collapse in the Second Half

The Magic never recovered after leading by 24 points early in the third quarter and with 11:11 left in that period. Orlando missed 23 consecutive shots over a 12-plus minute span, shot 4 for 37 in the second half and went 1-for-20 in the fourth quarter.

Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane and Jalen Suggs combined to go 2-for-26 in the second half, and the Pistons held Orlando without a made basket for 45 minutes in real time. Franz Wagner missed his second consecutive game because of a right calf strain, leaving the Magic short again as the lead vanished.

Game 7 Back in Detroit

Detroit now gets the series finale at home on Sunday after surviving a 3-1 deficit and forcing Orlando to return for one more game. J.B. Bickerstaff put the response in one line after the win: “Until it's over for us, it ain't over,” and Cunningham summed up the approach with “Detroit grit.”

The Pistons have already answered once in this series after a 3-1 hole, and Friday gave them a second chance to finish the job in front of their own crowd.
