In the opener of a Monday night tripleheader of NBA playoff action, the top-seeded Detroit Pistons will be on the road against the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic on NBC and Peacock.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Magic has a 2-1 series lead after winning 113-105 in Game 3 at Kia Center in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n

In Game 3 of the best-of-seven series that have been tied 1-1, the winning teams have advanced at a rate of 73.7% (202-72). Orlando is 5-1 when leading 2-1 in the best-of-seven series with the lone series loss coming to Detroit in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs.<\/p>\n

Orlando\u2019s defense on Cade Cunningham kept him in check, while Desmond Bane and Paolo Banchero stepped up on offense.<\/p>\n

Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic game preview: <\/p>\n

In his return from a collapsed lung, Pistons All-Star guard Cade Cunningham has played well in the series (31.0 ppg, second most in the playoffs behind MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at 34.7). But Detroit center Jalen Duren has struggled and is off his season averages in points (9.0, down from 19.5) and rebounding (8.3 from 10.5)<\/p>\n

\u201cThese last three games haven\u2019t been what he wants or what we might want for him,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cI and the whole team have no doubt he\u2019s going to figure it out and he knows he\u2019s going to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

As expected, physicality and defense have been major themes for the series. Detroit and Orlando had the lowest combined points total (612) through the first three games of all eight first-round playoff series. In each game, the winning team has the edge in rebounding marin.<\/p>\n

Forward Paolo Banchero and guard Desmond Bane (tying Dennis Scott\u2019s franchise playoff record with seven 3-pointers) led the way for the Magic in Game 3 with 25 points apiece. After building a game-high 17-point lead to open the fourth quarter, the Magic had to rally after falling behind the Pistons 105-104 with 2:52 left. Orlando finished on a 9-0 run that Banchero punctuated on a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they tied it up, nobody was panicking,\u201d said Banchero, who added 12 rebounds, nine assists and three steals. \u201cEverybody just understood the moment and what had to be done to finish the game off. The guys have enough experience to not panic in those moments and to just stay poised, and that\u2019s what we did.\u2019<\/p>\n

In addition to Banchero and Bane, the Magic got double-figure efforts from Jalen Suggs (15 points), Franz Wagner (17) and Wendell Carter Jr. (14).<\/p>\n

\u201cI could go on and on about Desmond Bane because he\u2019s such a professional, because he doesn\u2019t rattle, because he stays the course and comes to work every single day,\u201d Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said.<\/p>\n

Said Carter, who had a playoff career-high 17 rebounds (most by a Magic player in a playoff game since Dwight Howard (17) in 2011): \u201cI just knew I had to be the most physical person out there, or they were going to punk me.\u201d<\/p>\n
