ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 The Orlando Magic are heading to Game 6 in round one of the NBA playoffs.<\/p>\n
The last time they got this far, the Kia Center wasn\u2019t even done being built – so it\u2019s been a long time coming. With the current standings against the Detroit Pistons in favor of the Magic, fans say they\u2019re feeling pretty good about this game.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlayoff atmosphere is always great and exciting because everyone is dressed the part and they\u2019re cheering strongly and celebrating,\u201d said Magic fan Elizabeth Ykimoff. \u201cThe season has been a rough season for them, but now they\u2019re working together and doing better than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ykimoff says as long as the Magic play together, they\u2019ll pull out a win.<\/p>\n
Brian Hastings was not happy when the Magic lost their most recent game to the Pistons. \u201cThe TV was not happy with me. I was yelling at it, and it did not help.\u201d<\/p>\n
News 6\u2019s Amy Russo asked him if having home-field advantage would help the TV.<\/p>\n
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday at the Kia Center. <\/p>\n
