A series that’s been physical and back-and-forth throughout gets its finale, as the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic meet in a win-or-go-home Game 7 on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena.
After overcoming a 24-point third-quarter deficit to win Game 6 in Orlando, the Pistons look to be the second team in these playoffs alone to complete a 3-1 series comeback. Of course, multiple factors were in place for that Game 6 comeback to happen, but anything can and will happen in a Game 7.
A victory today would be the first playoff series win for the franchise since 2008, and they would move on to the second round of the Eastern Conference bracket. However, losing today would make them the seventh No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 8 seed in the playoffs, and give them the unfortunate distinction of being the first to lose in a Game 7.
