Detroit defeated Orlando 116–109 on April 29 at Little Caesars Arena in a tightly contested matchup where both teams' leading scorers delivered 45-point performances. Cunningham's 45 points led the Pistons while Banchero matched that output for the Magic, but Detroit's balanced attack—Harris added 23 points—proved decisive down the stretch. The Pistons shot 48.8 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers, while Orlando countered with a stronger perimeter game, draining 17 threes on 47.5 percent shooting overall. Detroit controlled the glass with 49 rebounds to Orlando's 33 and clamped down defensively in the third quarter, outscoring the Magic 23–19 to build separation. The game fell well short of the 210.5 Vegas total, finishing 14.5 points under. Detroit's defensive rating of 107.7 proved the difference-maker, while Orlando's 12 steals couldn't overcome a 16-rebound disadvantage. This victory keeps Detroit's postseason hopes alive as both teams jockey for positioning.
