Will host Pistons Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic earned home-court advantage in their first round playoff series against the Detroit Pistons, and they have no plans of relinquishing it.
The Magic will host Detroit in Game 3 Saturday at 1 p.m., with the winner taking a 2-1 series lead.
Game 4 will be Monday at 8 p.m. at the Kia Center. I have reaction from both teams from Friday’s practice day in Orlando.
