What happened: Detroit's 'Motorcade' offense continued to roll in the third quarter of Sunday's Game 7 against the Orlando Magic, broadcast on ABC. The Pistons led 60-49 at halftime behind Tobias Harris (19 points), Cade Cunningham (15 points), and Paolo Banchero's 23 for Orlando, and stretched the margin further after the break.
Why it matters: The winner of this Game 7 showdown advances to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. A Detroit win would punch the Pistons' ticket to a deeper playoff run behind Cunningham's emergence as a postseason lead guard, while Orlando's exit would end Banchero's bid to carry a young core past the first round.
By the numbers: Halftime: Pistons 60, Magic 49. Tobias Harris 19 PTS, Cade Cunningham 15 PTS (Detroit); Paolo Banchero 23 PTS (Orlando). Broadcast: ABC.
What to watch: Watch whether Detroit's transition defense holds against a Banchero-led Orlando push in the fourth quarter. The winner faces the next Eastern Conference Semifinal opponent.
