The Detroit Pistons recorded a 93-79 victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs in Orlando, Saturday WIB, after coming back from a 24-point deficit to force a deciding game in Game 7.
"Detroit's toughness. That's what we've talked about all year," Cade Cunningham said, as quoted on the NBA website.
Cunningham was the driving force behind the Pistons' comeback with 32 points, while Tobias Harris added 22 to help the top-seeded team turn things around dramatically.
The Pistons, who trailed by 22 points at halftime, faced an even bigger deficit when Orlando took a 62-38 lead early in the third quarter. At that point, the Magic appeared on track to dethrone the top seed as the eighth-seeded team.
But the situation changed drastically when Orlando experienced a complete stalemate offensively. The Magic missed 23 consecutive shots, while Detroit launched a 35-5 run that turned the game around.
