The Detroit Pistons pulled off one of the most stunning comebacks in recent NBA playoff history Friday night, erasing a 24-point deficit to defeat the Orlando Magic 93-79 and force a decisive Game 7 in their Eastern Conference first-round series. Cade Cunningham led the charge with 32 points, showing the poise of a veteran as the top-seeded Pistons refused to let their season end quietly.

For much of the game, it looked like Orlando was ready to write a Cinderella story. The Magic, the No. 8 seed, stormed to a 62-38 lead early in the third quarter, seemingly on the verge of becoming just the seventh No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 in the conference quarterfinals. But then, in a turn that left fans and analysts stunned, the Magic went ice-cold.

Orlando missed 23 consecutive field goal attempts—a staggering drought that ranks among the worst in playoff history since play-by-play tracking began in 1996-97. During that stretch, the Pistons unleashed a 35-5 run that completely flipped the script. Detroit’s defense tightened, and Cunningham found his rhythm, while Tobias Harris chipped in 22 points to fuel the comeback.

The first quarter had been a back-and-forth affair, with Detroit holding a slim 26-25 lead after 12 minutes. But Orlando dominated the second quarter, outscoring the Pistons 17-0 from beyond the arc and the free-throw line, building a 60-38 halftime advantage. That 22-point lead was the fourth-largest by a No. 8 seed over a No. 1 seed in this playoff format—and it looked insurmountable.

Then came the third quarter: Pistons 24, Magic 11. The momentum shifted so dramatically that by the final buzzer, the remaining fans at Orlando’s Kia Center were booing as they headed for the exits. Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane each scored 17 for the Magic, but it wasn’t enough to stop Detroit’s relentless surge.

Now, the series shifts back to Detroit for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. For the Pistons, this is a chance to prove their resilience; for the Magic, it’s a painful lesson in closing out a series. One thing is certain: after a rally like this, the energy in the arena will be electric—and fans will want to be dressed for the moment. Whether you’re repping Detroit’s blue and red or Orlando’s pinstripes, make sure your gear is game-ready for the biggest matchup of the season.
