Desmond Bane's performance was key to the Orlando Magic's 94-88 win over the Detroit Pistons. Bane scored 22 points, leading the Magic to a 3-1 series lead in the playoffs. The Magic struggled with their shooting, but were able to overcome it by protecting the ball and committing just 12 turnovers. Paolo Banchero scored 18 points for the Magic, but Jalen Suggs struggled, going 1 for 13 from the field. The Pistons were led by Cade Cunningham, who scored 25 points, but were unable to overcome the Magic's defense. The series is now on the brink of elimination for the Pistons, who have not advanced to the second round since 2008. Bane's performance was also notable for his connection with his former Grizzlies teammates, Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., who were in attendance at the game.
