The Orlando Magic edged the Detroit Pistons 112–109 on November 28 at Little Caesars Arena in a low-efficiency offensive showcase that finished below the Vegas total of 230.5. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with 39 points, while Darius Bane paced Orlando with 37 points and Franz Wagner added 21 in the victory. The Pistons shot 44 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers but committed 24 turnovers, which proved costly; the Magic forced 15 steals and limited Detroit to just 22 assists. Orlando's defense was the decisive factor—holding a 101.3 defensive rating compared to Detroit's 101.7—though both teams struggled offensively with field-goal percentages in the low 40s. The Magic's third quarter proved pivotal, outscoring Detroit 30–26 to build separation they would maintain despite a sluggish final frame. Orlando's ball security (13 turnovers) and aggressive perimeter defense ultimately made the difference in a grinding, defensive battle. The win positions the Magic favorably in the Eastern Conference race as they continue road play.
