A series that’s been physical and back-and-forth throughout gets its finale, as the Detroit Pistons<\/a> and Orlando Magic<\/a> meet in a win-or-go-home Game 7 on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n

After overcoming a 24-point third-quarter deficit to win Game 6 in Orlando<\/a>, 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<\/a>, but anything can and will happen in a Game 7.<\/p>\n

A victory today would be the first playoff series win for the franchise since 2008<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n
