Orlando Magic can clinch Game 6 vs Pistons, lead series 3-2

sportsMay 1, 202619604

The Orlando Magic can clinch the series by beating the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 tonight in Orlando; the Magic lead the series 3-2. Paolo Banchero has been Orlando's focal scorer and will be relied on to finish the job, while Cade Cunningham must carry Detroit's offense to force a Game 7. A Magic win would eliminate Detroit and send Orlando to the next round, while a Pistons victory would push the series back to Detroit for a decisive Game 7.

WOW ... the Orlando Magic throwing away a 24-point lead is crazy. Going on like 10 minutes, actual game minutes, without a point.
