The Detroit Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic 116–94 on May 3 at Little Caesars Arena, controlling the matchup with balanced scoring and efficient perimeter shooting. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 32 points while Tobias Harris added 30, propelling the Pistons to a 51.3 percent field-goal rate and 16 made three-pointers. Orlando's Paolo Banchero scored a team-high 38 points in a losing effort, but the Magic shot just 41.3 percent from the field and made only 10 three-pointers, finishing with 33 rebounds to Detroit's 41. The Pistons' defense proved decisive, holding a 126.5 defensive rating while Orlando managed just 102 points on a 102.0 offensive rating; Detroit's third quarter was particularly stifling, outscoring the Magic 23–15 during that stretch. The combined 210 points exceeded Vegas's 200.5 over-under by nine points, though Orlando's offensive struggles—particularly in the third quarter—prevented a higher-scoring affair. Detroit's balanced attack and defensive intensity position the Pistons favorably as the playoffs progress.
