The Orlando Magic try to close on their home court against the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 on Friday night. In any best-of-seven series, the end usually becomes must-watch TV, which means wild basketball is on the horizon.

The Magic being at home, injuries and momentum swings will all be a factor. Not many 8 vs. 1 series come down to this. Detroit getting knocked out would be a major blow to the Eastern Conference side of the bracket in the 2026 NBA Playoff.

Can the Pistons win two games in a row and keep the beat going into the next round? Will the Magic realize the moment and take out the Bad Boys? Only 13 teams in NBA playoff history have ever overcome a 3-1 deficit. Orlando doesn’t want to play with fire.
