The offense that was flowing so easily earlier in the game is now struggling. The #Magic are pressing for looks and the ball is bouncing in the #Pistons' favor. Magic are not getting out in transition nearly as much either. Deficit is down to nine.

109-100 ORL, 5:26 4th

The game will get decided in the next 3-5 minutes. Both teams have reloaded with their starters with a 16-point game. If the #Magic re-extend the lead, it's over. If the #Pistons cut it down below 10... uh oh.

98-82 ORL, 10:13 4th

Anthony Black is being pretty liberal with his shot-taking and attacks to the rim. That is understandable up 20+ in his frist game back. But the #Pistons are starting to find some offensive groove. They have the #Magic's lead down to 16.

98-82 ORL, 10:13 4th

Early Jase Richardson minutes for the #Magic. It really feels like this one is academic. The #Pistons don't have a reason to fight for this one. I doubt we see Thompson or Duren the rest of the way.

92-69 ORL, 1:52 3rd

The #Magic are rolling now. The #Pistons do not have the horses and are not shooting well enough to beat this team. #Magic have a ton of energy and Paolo Banchero is rolling downhill with 27 points. Bane has 22. This could be a rout.

86-63 ORL, 5:27 3rd

The #Magic settled down a bit after the early second-quarter struggles. A Paolo Banchero and-1 to end the quarter helps the #Magic restore a 14-point lead heading to the locker room. He's got 21 at the half.

#Magic lead the #Pistons 69-55 at halftime.
