Detroit Free Press • • sports
Key Points:
- The 1-seed Detroit Pistons are on the verge of a historic upset, trailing 3-1 to the 8-seed Orlando Magic after a 94-88 loss in Game 4, with the Magic now one win away from winning the series.
- Pistons star Cade Cunningham led all scorers with 25 points but also committed eight turnovers, contributing to Detroit's offensive struggles despite Orlando's poor shooting.
- Magic guard Desmond Bane was instrumental, hitting five of ten 3-pointers including a crucial long-distance shot late in the game that extended Orlando's lead.
- Detroit's Game 5 at home on April 29 is a must-win to avoid becoming only the seventh 1-seed in NBA history to lose a first-round series to an 8-seed.
- The winner of the Pistons-Magic series will face the winner of the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors series in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with that series currently tied 2-2.
