The Detroit Pistons pulled off one of the most stunning comebacks in recent NBA playoff history, erasing a 24-point deficit in Game 6 to force a winner-take-all Game 7 at Little Caesars Arena. Down 22 at halftime and trailing by 24 early in the third quarter, the Pistons outscored the Orlando Magic 31-8 in the fourth quarter to win 93-79 and tie the series at 3-3.
Orlando's collapse was historic. The Magic became the first team since the 1996-97 season to blow a 24-plus point lead in a closeout game at home, missing 23 consecutive field goal attempts down the stretch. Detroit responded with a dominant 35-5 run in the second half that completely flipped the momentum of the series.
Cade Cunningham led the charge with 32 points, while veteran Tobias Harris added 22. The rest of the Pistons contributed 39 points, with the bench chipping in 13 on 5-of-15 shooting from beyond the arc. Detroit finished the game shooting 40% from the field and 33% from three-point range, while Orlando struggled at 35% overall and just 25% from deep.
Now the stage is set for a decisive Game 7 in Detroit, where the Pistons will look to complete their improbable comeback and advance to the next round. The Magic, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly after one of the most painful losses in franchise history.
