The Orlando Magic secured a hard-fought victory over the Detroit Pistons, advancing in the NBA Cup. This win was significant as Magic star Desmond Bane had previously criticized the Pistons. The Magic showed resilience, winning hustle plays and digging for loose balls to overcome a physical Detroit team. The game was tied with four minutes remaining, but Bane scored a crucial go-ahead basket and one, leading to a two-point lead. He also grabbed key offensive rebounds, leading to free throws for Jalen Suggs and a three-point lead. The Magics defense was paramount, forcing twenty-four turnovers and compensating for their poor shooting night. Anthony Black sealed the win by blocking Duncan Robinsons last-second three-point attempt. This victory showcased the Magics evolving identity as a tough, physical team that refuses to be intimidated.
