00:25The East run through Detroit, man.
00:26That's all that's gotta be said, man.
00:28Ain't too much to say, man.
00:29East run through Detroit, bro.
00:31The East does indeed run through Detroit
00:34as the Pistons have secured home court advantage
00:37through the conference finals.
00:39They have four more tune-up games
00:41before the playoffs began.
00:43And tonight they face an Orlando squad
00:46fighting for playoff positioning.
00:48Live from the Kia Center in sunny central Florida.
00:52It's the Pistons and the Magic
00:54presented by Baker College.
00:57Good evening, everybody.
00:59And welcome to another exciting night
01:02of NBA basketball.
01:06I'm George Blaha, live in Orlando
01:08with my partner Special K himself,
01:10Gregory Kelser.
01:11And Greg, the Pistons have indeed secured
01:14home court advantage all the way through
01:16the Eastern Conference finals.
01:19What an amazing accomplishment
01:20considering this team won just 14 games
01:23two years ago.
01:25With four games to play,
01:27they have the fifth most wins in franchise history.
01:29What can you say about a job that's been done
01:31in every corner of this organization?
01:33Well, really, it's been stunning.
01:36Unbelievable, remarkable, and amazing
01:39what this team has been able to do in two years
01:42with a lot of the same players.
01:44We've watched it from up close.
01:46So, therefore, we can appreciate the fact
01:48that they stayed together.
01:49They kept believing in each other,
01:51supporting each other.
01:52And now they're winning for each other.
01:55And I think that, you know,
01:56this story is far from being to its end.
01:59It's going to be a fun time watching to see
02:01where it actually all goes.
02:03Kudos to J.B. Vickerstaff,
02:05Trajan Langdon, as we said.
02:07Tom Gore is the owner.
02:08Everybody in this organization has done
02:10an amazing job.
02:12As for the Magic,
02:13well, they're doing all right.
02:14And they have a lot going on
02:16going into this game.
02:18They currently sit ninth in the East,
02:20but they're just a game back of the sixth spot.
02:23So finish sixth,
02:24and you avoid the entire play-in.
02:26But finish seven or eight,
02:28you only have to win one play-in game
02:30to make the field.
02:31Two games, though, separate sixth
02:33from the win-or-go-home road game
02:35you have to play as the tenth seed.
02:38So, J.B. Vickerstaff,
02:40what an incredible job, as we said.
02:41At the helm in his first two seasons in Detroit,
02:44his wins put him among the most accomplished coaches
02:48in seasons one or two.
02:49We'll show you exactly where J.B. ranks
02:51when we return to Orlando.
03:14The New York is brought to you by Cure Auto Insurance,
03:18a proud partner of the Detroit Pistons,
03:20and by your local Toyota dealer.
03:23For all Toyota offers, visit Toyota.com.
03:27J.B. Vickerstaff has a locker room full of players
03:31who have completely bought in.
03:33And that's placed him among the franchise leaders
03:36for wins in a head coach's first two seasons.
03:40StockX shows us that J.B. trails only Flip Saunders
03:43and Larry Brown.
03:45Pretty good company considering those guys
03:47made at least the conference finals in each of their first two seasons.
03:51J.B. goes for win number 102 in just a moment.
03:59The next season is the Pistons arrive in Orlando.
04:02Our call saying best call reveals a couple fresh faces
04:05in tonight's starting lineup, including newest Piston, Kevin Herter.
04:12Unfortunately, part of that is guys have been not healthy and out of the lineup,
04:16so you never want that.
04:18But it was just an opportunity.
04:19When I got here, everyone was here.
04:20Everyone was healthy.
04:21We were the best team in the East.
04:22I knew it would take some time, and just glad I got an opportunity
04:25over the last couple weeks or so to give J.B. some film going into the playoffs,
04:29and it'll be all hands on deck.
04:31Obviously, you don't know what will happen, but I'll be ready to help the team.
04:35Kevin Herter will get the start in place of Duncan Robinson tonight.
04:38He's dealing with a right hip bruise.
04:41Paul Reed's going to start in place of Tobias Harris.
04:44He's dealing with a hip injury as well.
04:46And Karis LeVert, he will miss tonight with some injury maintenance prevention.
04:51So plenty of opportunities, George, for what's been an opportunistic group to this point.
04:56And Kevin Herter has been a big help to the Pistons in recent days,
05:01and I'm sure he will be in the postseason as well.
05:05Let's check the starting lineups.
05:07Danis Jenkins, who's been a bad boy as a starter,
05:11along with Kevin Herter in the backcourt.
05:14For my money, the Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA,
05:17Asar Thompson, with B-ball Paul Reed and Jalen Durr in the All-Star up front.
05:24Starting laps are brought to you by Henry Ford Health.
05:28Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bain rock solid backcourt.
05:33Suggs can set it up and play D, and Bain can shoot the lights out for the Magic.
05:38Tristan Da Silva, Paolo Bancaro, and Wendell Carter Jr. up front in the absence of Franz Wagner,
05:45who's on some no back-to-back injury maintenance.
05:51I bet they're upset that he's not playing tonight because this is a very important game for the Magic.
05:58Tyler Ford, Eric Dayland, and John Connolly have the whistles.
06:09George and Greg here courtside at the Kia Center.
06:13Beautiful building in downtown Orlando.
06:18The Magic with great ownership from the DeVos family.
06:23Coached by Jamal Mosley.
06:26It's Jamal against his friend J.B. Vickerstad.
06:30Orlando wins the opening tip.
06:31Vancaro's coming off an excellent game.
06:34In his last outing, Carter Jr.
06:40The Silva has it batted away.
06:42Herder has it.
06:45Danis Jenkins forecourt to Asar.
06:50Down inside to J.D.
06:52Getting a hand on the basketball.
06:55And strong-arming it was Desmond Bain.
06:58Nice job defensively by Bain.
07:00I thought he had maybe made contact with Jalen Durham, but no posturing or arguing by Jalen Durham,
07:09so it must have been a good stop.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Paul Reed misses from distance.
07:13We're still scoreless in Orlando.
07:18Bain fakes the shot.
07:20Snaps it topside to Suggs.
07:26Suggs backs up.
07:28Finds De Silva in the corner.
07:30Shot clock's running out.
07:31Carter Jr. is going to have to fire.
07:33There.
07:33It's off the heel.
07:34Vancaro had the rebound.
07:36Pistons knock it away.

17:37I say that because that's how, that's why
17:39Davis Jenkins was able to go in the crowd sometimes
17:40and finish like he did a moment ago with that
17:42hook shot over a lot of defenders.
17:46From the corner,
17:47Jamal Cain,
17:49a Detroiter, connects.
17:51It's 21-12.
17:54Magic gets pretty much
17:55what they want now.
17:56The defense has to step up for the Pistons
17:59and in a hurry.
18:01Got away by
18:04Orlando
18:04on the pass inside.
18:08Vanquero's pass.
18:11But they're still
18:12looking for a drive and a dunk.
18:18But they're going to take that away.
18:25Offensive foul
18:26called on Carter Jr.
18:30Second
18:30on Wendell Carter Jr., by the way.
18:35Pistons
18:36with the ball.
18:37trailing 21-12.
18:39Marcus Sasser is checked in.
18:44Topside, Kevin Herter.
18:47To the corner goes to Ron Holland.
18:49Missed the three.
18:51Rebound
18:51to Jamal Cain.
18:55Suggs to forecourt with five and 20 left in the first.
19:00Vanquero, the mismatch with Sasser.
19:03J.D. comes over to help with a shot at the side of the bank board.
19:07Pistons on the run.
19:09Ron Holland will want to take it all the way in.
19:10The shot won't fall.
19:14Vanquero, the other way to the basket, double touches and scores in a collision with Asar Thompson.
19:20It didn't matter.
19:21That's 6-10 and that's the 2-50 right there that helped make that happen for Vanquero.
19:28It's 23-12.
19:30He had to adjust his shot.
19:32And he did watch that.
19:34The biggest lead for the Magic and another Piston timeout.
19:40Maybe a little better perspective on things.
19:43You've got to go back to April 07.
19:44Last time the Pistons were number one in the East.
19:47LeBron James had about one-fifth of his scoring production underneath him at that point in time.
19:53Cade Cunningham and Jalen Dern had yet to start kindergarten.
19:56Number one song was Don't Matter by Akon.
19:59Number one movie, Disturbia.
20:01And the first iPhone wouldn't be released for a couple more months.
20:05A lot has happened since, but I know Pistons fans who've remained steadfast, George,
20:09deserve to feel good about what this team has done to reach this point.
20:13Great stuff, Johnny.
20:14Thank you.
20:19Devon Carter's checked in.
20:20He was guarding Marcus Sasser.
20:22The pass ends up in the corner and knocking it down from downtown.
20:26This is a great off-the-bench guy who's played in every Piston game this season.
20:30The only one who has, Devontae Green.
20:33You've got a lot of bench guys out there now, and that's a go-to for the Pistons coaching staff
20:38when the starters get off to a somewhat sluggish start.
20:41Without hesitation, they'll put three or four, and oftentimes, sometimes five bench guys out there
20:47to get that emotional and energy lift.
20:48We'll see if it happens here.
20:51Pistons coaching staff.
20:52Anthony Black.
20:55The ball slip away.
20:59What they call a foul on Ron Holland.
21:06Pistons in the penalty.
21:08Black at the line.
21:10Orlando's up 23-15.
21:18Pistons still resting Isaiah Stewart.
21:25And there's Franz Wagner.
21:34Black got one free throw.
21:38Missing both.
21:41Yeah, that's right.
21:42It's 23-15.
21:48Tolu Smith.
21:49Inside for Javante Green.
21:51Misses.
21:52Doga Batazi with a rebound.
21:56Devon Carter to fourth court.
21:59Carter, nice quick dish inside.
22:03Bring it out with Anthony Black.
22:06Pistons defend down deep, but they lose it.
22:10And Black gets it back.
22:11Reverse Glasser goes.
22:15Now 25-15.
22:22This is un-piston-like.
22:25Hard to play when you don't have to play for something.
22:28Devon Hurter in front.
22:31Totolu lays it in.
22:32Well, what you're hoping is that your competitive fire will take over.
22:36And with that being the case, you just play hard and try to win every possession or get the defensive
22:41stops.
22:42Ultimately win the game.
22:43That's what the Pistons are hoping for here.
22:46Black's pass goes outside to Jamal Kane.
22:49Matazze with a high-low dish.
22:53Pass lost by Bancaro.
22:58You know, it probably looks and feels like Orlando is farther ahead until you actually look at the score.
23:04Yeah, just an eight-point lead, and the Pistons have the basketball.
23:10Tolu hands to Marcus Sasser.
23:13Quick dribble, trying to shake Javon Carter and can't.
23:17Way outside for Javonte Green.
23:19Misses it.
23:19Goes back to the rim.
23:20Trying to follow.
23:22The dish goes to Ron Holland, and he scores it.
23:25Nice.
23:25That was a good follow-up.
23:26His own miss by Javonte Carter.
23:27He knew that was shot.
23:28That shot was off the moment he let it go.
23:30He put himself in position to get the second chance.
23:33Bancaro goes baseline.
23:35Topside.
23:36Carter with a miss.
23:39Chase down.
23:40Rebound.
23:40Javonte Green.
23:42Hurter.
23:43No looking into the corner for Ron Holland, and he buries a three.
23:47He knocked a bunch of threes down and shoot around this morning.
23:50And he had two in Philadelphia.
23:52So could it be that as the Pistons approach the playoffs to Ron Holland,
23:57who we've said all alone, should be a better three-point shooter with excellent form.
24:01Maybe he's getting there, George.
24:03Certainly good news tonight.
24:06Starting point guard, Janus Jenkins comes back in.
24:10And now, only a three-point Orlando Lee.
24:18One, two, three, two.
24:20Locked at the elbow, nothing there.
24:22Came from the corner, baseline drive, and a shot that won't fall, but a foul.
24:28You notice again what the Pistons largely will not allow teams to do, and that's just take
24:33advantage of a one-on-one matchup.
24:35That was good help to get the ball out of Bancaro's hands by, I think it was Marcus Sascha, who
24:40came over.
24:41Jamal Cain, swing two.
24:47At the line, Jamal Cain, who is 6'7", and about 190.
24:55Orlando's been struggling at the stretch.
24:57They've already missed four free throws.
24:58Make it five.
24:59Now, a message from the Southeast Michigan Ford dealers.
25:04EasyPlan customers who trade in their current vehicle can lease an F-150 XLT for only $3.49 a month
25:10for 36 months.
25:11Only at your Southeast Michigan Ford dealers.
25:15Another missed free throw for the Magic.
25:21Pistons with the basketball, trailing by just three.
25:27Danus.
25:29With the shot, sticks it.
25:33Danus Jenkins now with six.
25:40Desmond Baines back in the game for the Magic.
25:44Anthony Black on the drive.
25:46Ball knocked out of bounds by the Pistons.
25:49The 12-2 Piston run right now.
25:52What you're seeing right now is what the Pistons have done all year with their depth.
25:57You know, a lot of teams, when they go to the bench, they're hoping that things just sort of stay
26:01steady.
26:01A lot of times when the Pistons go to the bench, there's an uptick.
26:04Yeah, things get better.
26:06Misses off the side of the backboard again.
26:09Black gets it back.
26:11And this time, on the drive, hits it and draws a foul.
26:18That's a good move.
26:19Absorbing that contact and then got hit again.
26:22Strong move.
26:23Good concentration by Black.
26:25Look, he gets hit pretty hard twice.
26:27Up in that face area.
26:29Tolu called for the foul.
26:33Black is at the line.
26:3627-24 Pistons.
26:39A minute and 16 to play here.
26:42First quarter in Orlando.
26:43And the three-point trip is completed by Black.
26:4928-24 Magic.
26:51A minute and 10 to play in the first.
26:53Danis to the lane.
26:55Bumped and fouled by Carter.
26:56Carter, he's saying Danis started that contact.
27:01Tough call for the officials.
27:04But it is a foul on Javon Carter.
27:09The veteran now from West Virginia.
27:12Where he played for Bobby Huggins.
27:15Pistons go topside to Danis.
27:18On the wing to Marcus Sasser.
27:21Down the lane.
27:23Dumps it off to Devontae Green.
27:25Pass got away.
27:28And down in forecourt is Bain.
27:31And a foul for tripping is going to be called on Javon Carter.
27:36Veteran move by Bain on a veteran.
27:41Green.
27:41Bain is going to run.
27:43He's going to veer his path.
27:44Watch this.
27:45Right up.
27:45Made sure he got contact.
27:47And a whistle right in front of the official.
27:50Pretty crafty on his part.
27:54Pistons have been unselfish so far.
27:57They have eight assists on nine hoops.
28:03Bain says, let me show my guys how to make some free throws.
28:06This is his first trip, folks.
28:08He's not been a part of that missing of free throws.
28:13That's a great touch.
28:16Berries in both.
28:19Orlando by six.
28:22Less than a minute left in the first.
28:24Marcus Sasser to forecourt.
28:27That's Jamal Cain on the perimeter against him.
28:306-7.
28:33Guarding 6-1.
28:36Javon Tate Green drives.
28:39Javon Tate Green scores it.
28:41Javon Tate Green.
28:45So good at getting what you need off the bench.
28:49And on the drive, Anthony Black just lost the ball out of bounds.
28:53So the Pistons are within four.
28:55That's six turnovers for the Magic.
29:0710 and a shot clock.
29:0819 seconds to play in the first.
29:11Marcus Sasser against Bain.
29:14The three is off the heel.
29:17Foul inside.
29:20Says John Conley.
29:30Fouls on Batase.
29:36Toulouse Smith.
29:37All 6'11 and 251 pounds.
29:41At the free throw line.
29:51First one's up and in.
29:54Pistons getting close here.
29:56They're within three.
29:58I think they found their competitiveness.
30:01I think they found the purpose.
30:04And the purpose is to play hard and play the right way.
30:07And put yourself in position to win the game.
30:10And it started with the bench when they entered.
30:13Exactly.
30:13Go back to your principles, your fundamentals.
30:17Your offense and your defense.
30:22Tolu.
30:23Line drive the second one up and in.
30:25That thing just barely cleared the front rim.
30:27He smiled about it, but he made it.
30:29It's now a two-point game.
30:31Bain to forecourt.
30:32Five seconds.
30:33Four seconds.
30:34Three.
30:36Carter to the baseline.
30:38Shot is hammered as time runs out.
30:44I think they're going to probably put about three, maybe four-tenths of a second back up on the clock.
30:52Let's watch.
30:54Gavante Green got it from behind.
31:01Tyler Ford, the lead official.
31:04Take a long look at what happened.
31:08Put the right amount of time up, I would imagine.
31:10Have to review the ball hitting out of bounds with 0.3 seconds.
31:130.3 seconds on the game clock.
31:15Hey, watch the lob.
31:16Hey, don't lie.
31:19They put three-tenths of a second back up there, George.
31:21And the Pistons all come out of the huddle right there saying, watch the lob.
31:26Watch the lob.
31:27So they know that that's a possibility.
31:32And they're putting Paul Reed in there to guard against it along with Tolu Smith.
31:37You've got two bigs.
31:39Danish Jenkins comes out.
31:41He's a medium.
31:43He's not a small, though.
31:45Oh!
31:46Unbelievable.
31:48Kane scores.
31:49Unbelievable.
31:50Somehow, three-tenths of a second to play in the first.
31:53That will be a teaching moment for the Pistons before the playoffs begin.
31:57They fell asleep.
31:58Look at that.
31:59Kane sneaks in behind the defense.
32:03Now, they've got to look at that and make sure that ball is off his fingertips.
32:07It's close.
32:10That's not going to count.
32:12Fortunately.
32:13It might have been late.
32:14Fortunately, that's not going to count.
32:21No basket, says Tyler Ford, the lead official.
32:24Some baskets will say for Kevin Herter.
32:29We have our live odds brought to you by FanDuel.
32:32Moneyline means Pistons need to win the game.
32:34That over-runner set at 224.5.
32:36Total parlay at plus 259.
32:38$10 to win 25.90 as we start quarter number two, George.
32:44Thanks, Johnny.
32:48Orlando led by 11 at the five-minute mark.
32:51Pistons turned it to two after one.
32:54And here come the Pistons.
32:56Bain just bumped Danis Jenkins down.
33:00By the way, Kevin Herter did more than just score in the first.
33:03He had two assists and two steals to go with his eight points.
33:09There he is.
33:12The newest Piston.
33:15Over from the Bulls at the trade deadline.
33:19Danis Jenkins flips to Jalen Duren.
33:22J.D. puts his shoulder down.
33:23Tried to get to the basket.
33:27And another big man, referee Eric Dalen,
33:30calls the foul.
33:34It's on Batase.
33:37Goga Batase.
33:40Big man, 6'10 and 250 himself.
33:44J.D. at the line.
33:48We list him at 6'10 and about 270.

34:06George, you mentioned the height of Eric Dalen.
34:08He is a tall guy.
34:09If the officials were to start a basketball team,
34:12he'd be on the front line along with Kevin Cutler,
34:15who's also a big, strong guy.
34:20One free throw foul.
34:23It's 30-29, Orlando.
34:27Good defense for the Pistons.
34:29Shot clock down to four.
34:30Getting from the baseline misses.
34:33Batase had the rebound.
34:36Knocked away from him.
34:41Fouls called on Jalen Duren.
34:46The other Wagner, Mo Wagner, checks in.
34:53John Bieland brought him to Michigan.
34:57And the Wolverines were lucky that Franz followed.
35:00Here's a swipe by J.D.
35:02And a stop.
35:03A steal and stop.
35:05And the Pistons now have their first lead.
35:07It's 31-30.
35:09And Jalen Duren's first bucket of the game,
35:11his first field goal,
35:12comes courtesy of the Orlando Magic.
35:16It's through the ball away from the out-of-bounds.
35:20Yvonne Carter with a bounce to Mo Wagner.
35:25Deep to Bain.
35:26And a long three is through for Desmond Bain.
35:30Don't let him get started.
35:33On the other end, Chaz Lanier misses a three.
35:36Rebound to Carter.
35:39Four court to Jamal Cain.
35:43Bain from the corner nails another three.
35:47And the Magic lead by five, 36-31.
35:51Had that 39-point game against the Pistons.
35:5549, I'm sorry, not 39.
35:5749.
35:58A couple of years ago.
36:00So the Pistons as an organization
36:02clearly know what Bain is capable of.
36:04You don't want to leave him alone in the corner.
36:07Pushdown called on Bain.
36:09Bain out high.
36:14His last four games have been against the Pistons,
36:1726 per night.
36:19He's capable of far more than that if you're not.
36:21Oh, exactly.
36:23Danis on the perimeter,
36:25swiped by Carter.
36:26To Mo Wagner.
36:28And a jam.
36:33Orlando playing with purpose.
36:35They've scored eight in a row
36:36after giving up the lead.
36:38It's now 38-31.
36:41Jalen Dern against Mo Wagner.
36:44Backs in.
36:45Shot off the glass and good.
36:46He gets more of the guy out right there.
36:48When he hits you with that body of his,
36:51Jalen Dern,
36:52you're going to move.
36:53You're going to have your defensive rhythm
36:56thrown off at least for a second.
36:57And that's when he punishes you
36:59to get his shot off.
37:01Mo Wagner weighs 265.
37:04He just got rattled a little bit
37:06by Chaz Lanier,
37:07who's called for the foul.
37:09When you're 265
37:10and standing still
37:12and 250 or whatever Jalen Dern weighs
37:15hits you in your chest,
37:17you're going to feel it
37:18and you're going to move.
37:19There's that swipe by J.D.
37:21in a jam
37:22a couple of moments ago
37:23and here's what he just did
37:24to Mo Wagner.
37:26He moved too, didn't he?
37:27Yes, he did.
37:29Paolo Vancaro back in the game
37:30for Orlando.
37:32Backdoor bounce to De Silva.
37:34Nice cut in the score.
37:36And it's now 40-33 magic.
37:39I like De Silva as a player.
37:40I like his activity
37:41without the basketball.
37:42I like his aggressiveness to score.
37:46Ron Holland with a corner three.
37:48It won't go through.
37:50Devontae Green took the rebound
37:51away from De Silva, though.
37:56And they call a foul
37:58on Paolo Vancaro.
38:02Some conversation right there
38:04between J.B. Bickenstaff
38:06and Ron Holland.
38:07Not exactly sure what it's about.
38:11Ron nodded affirmatively.
38:13I think he likes the three
38:13but he likes him going to the basket.
38:15too, and if he had a lane
38:16to the rim, he's a great finisher.
38:22The foul gives the Pistons
38:24a ball on the side.
38:25Almost a full shot clock.
38:27Marcus Sasser to Chaz Lanier.
38:29Now topside of J.D.
38:31Downs to Marcus Sasser.
38:36Excellent shooters
38:37on the perimeter
38:38for the Pistons.
38:41Marcus to the rain.
38:42Watch the ball.
38:43Devont Carter
38:43takes it away
38:45to Vancaro.
38:49Kane topside to Carter.
38:53got by De Silva won't go.
38:56Scamble for the rebound.
38:58Out of bounds to the Pistons.
39:028-38 to play in the half.
39:04The Pistons are down 40-33
39:06here against the Magic
39:08in Orlando.
39:11Jalen Durr and working
39:12against Mo Wagner
39:13goes baseline
39:15and Mo Wagner
39:16is going to be called
39:17for the foul.
39:20We'll tell you again
39:21that Orlando is sitting
39:22in the ninth spot
39:23right now, folks.
39:24They still have a chance
39:25to get the sixth,
39:26which will put them
39:27in the playoffs
39:27in the same position
39:28the Pistons were in last year.
39:30But they got a lot
39:31of work to do
39:31to do that.
39:32What they don't want
39:33to do is finish
39:34in the ninth or tenth spot
39:35because then you're
39:36going to need
39:37two victories.
39:38It's like Russian roulette
39:39when you're sitting
39:40down there.
39:40If you get it,
39:42wonderful,
39:42but if
39:44don't come back
39:45to the casino
39:46the next night
39:46and think you're
39:47going to get it again.
39:47Exactly.
39:57Jalen Duren
39:58at the line.
40:03Orlando's
40:03in the penalty.
40:04Foul
40:05on Mo Wagner.
40:07Gets J.D.
40:08two free throws.
40:118-29
40:12now to play
40:12in the first half.
40:14First free throw
40:14is up
40:15and it's in.
40:17Duncan Robinson
40:18looking on tonight.
40:20Those two have been
40:20unacceptable all day.
40:22Let me tell you.
40:25Right there.
40:26Duncan Robinson
40:27throws the break.
40:29Almost hand in hand.
40:30Well,
40:30they were roommates.
40:37J.D.
40:37got one for two.
40:39He's been shooting
40:40about 85%
40:41from the stripe
40:42in his last 10 games
40:43but he was one
40:44for two there.
40:46Orlando up
40:4740-34.
40:49The silver snaps
40:50the pass
40:50to Van Carro
40:51on the wing.
40:52Mo Wagner
40:53mid post.
40:56And to Van Carro.
40:58Baseline jumper.
40:59No,
41:00but a foul
41:00on Ron Holland.
41:02That's the third
41:04on Ron.
41:04I'm almost convinced.
41:06He's coming out
41:06because he got three.
41:07But also,
41:09I'm convinced
41:10that maybe
41:12the conversation
41:13between J.B.
41:14Bickerstaff
41:14and Ron Holland
41:15the last time.
41:16Even though he missed
41:17that three,
41:17George,
41:18I think it was
41:19more defensive,
41:20the thought process.
41:22And when he committed
41:23that foul,
41:24there was no hesitation
41:25to turn
41:25and call for
41:26of Sar Townsend
41:27who will now
41:27enter the game.
41:29Van Carro
41:30gets the first
41:31free throw.
41:32And now a message
41:33from Figer Law.
41:36At Figer Law,
41:37every case is personal
41:38to us
41:39and we won't stop
41:40until we bring home
41:41the win.
41:42Figer Law,
41:43all we do
41:44is win.
41:45is win.
41:53Van Carro
41:54with his team
41:56up seven.
41:59Now makes it eight.
42:01It's 42 to 34.
42:09Orlando led
42:10by 11 early.
42:13Now they're up eight.
42:15Jalen Broom
42:16to the basket.
42:17Lays it up.
42:18Lays it in.
42:18Punished Mo Wagner.
42:20Where's Barker, Jordan?
42:21He's on the floor.
42:24Quick shot
42:25for Court Ben.
42:27The Silva, rather,
42:28won't go.
42:31Out of bounds
42:32to the Pistons.
42:33Seven and 43
42:34to play in the half.
42:36Pistons with
42:37Marcus Sasser,
42:38Asar Thompson,
42:40Devontae Green,
42:42Jalen Dern

42:50Marcus Sasser

42:51and it's through.
42:54Timeout,
42:55says Jamal Mosley.
42:56The Pistons
42:57are back
42:58within three.
43:02with seven and twenty-nine
43:04left till halftime.
43:07Marcus Sasser
43:08knocks that shot down
43:09and off-camera
43:10gets a conversation.
43:12His turn
43:12with the head coach.
43:13Obviously,
43:14nobody's stopping yet.
43:17making a claim
43:18with Cure Auto Insurance.
43:20That was after
43:20the Pistons
43:21clinched the number one
43:22seed on Thursday night
43:23in Philadelphia
43:24and a return serve.
43:26Jalen Dern
43:26said of Asar Thompson,
43:27he's got to be
43:28defensive player
43:29of the year.
43:30These guys,
43:30obviously,
43:31very close-knit.
43:32We've seen it
43:32from the start
43:33of the season
43:34and now here we are
43:35in game 79.
43:36The brotherhood
43:37remains, George.
43:38He's down right.
43:39That and
43:40most improved.
43:43Pistons
43:44turn the magic over.
43:49Marcus Sasser
43:50down the lane.
43:51Threw it behind him
43:53and it's taken away
43:54by the magic.
43:57Suggs
43:59to Anthony Black.
44:02Hands to Bancaro.
44:03Plenty of shot clocks
44:04at 11.
44:05Bancaro pulls
44:06his way to the basket
44:07and misses.
44:09Marcus Sasser
44:10the other way.
44:15Mid-post for Asar.
44:19Topside,
44:20Javante Green
44:20launches a three.
44:21This one won't go through.
44:24Orlando comes
44:25to forecourt

44:28Black deep

44:31Baby hook down deep

44:44That's smart.

44:50Nice mid-range jumper.
44:52it's 44-41.
44:54It's 44-41.
45:01Jazz down deep
45:03to Wendell Carter Jr.
45:04can't convert.
45:06Paul Reed stood
45:07straight up
45:08but they're going to get him

48:24and two rebounds
48:26as well.
48:31Rondell Carter Jr.
48:32with two big free throws
48:33for Orlando.
48:35This is a big ball game
48:36for them.
48:36They love to make
48:37the playoffs
48:38and not the play in.
48:40They're up 48 to 41.
48:414 and 35 to play

49:30Black got hit
49:31in the nose
49:32but he took Herder down.
49:38Herder can't believe
49:39that he didn't get
49:39something out of that.
49:40A lot of contact
49:41on that shot.
49:44No foul called.
49:48The one thing
49:48will be called here
49:49is a timeout.
50:03Somebody's bleeding.
50:05More than 100,000
50:09people are going
50:10on the national
50:11transfer.
50:11with 4-0-5 to play
50:13in the half.
50:14Check the scoreboard.
50:15It reads
50:15the Magic 50
50:17and the Pistons 41.
50:21J.P. Bickerstaff
50:25trying to get his team
50:26to play like they have
50:27played all season long.
50:31Let's look at the
50:32Huntington Bank
50:33primetime performance
50:34so far.
50:36It's got to be
50:37Herder with his
50:37shooting.
50:39It's helping the Pistons
50:40try and stay at least
50:41within reach of the
50:42Magic.
50:43We were up 11
50:44one time
50:44and now they're up
50:45nine.
50:46Herder feeling
50:47more and more
50:47like a Piston.
50:48More and more
50:48like he's been here
50:49longer than he has.
50:51And as you said,
50:52George,
50:52will be very valuable
50:53but very important
50:54to this team
50:55once the playoffs
50:56come.
50:57I understand
50:58that Tyler Ford
50:59looked
51:00knocked me sideways
51:01on my shot.
51:04It was Wendell Carter
51:06who had to have
51:06the bleeding stop.
51:13Anthony Black
51:15fouled by Kevin Herder
51:19and Black
51:20will shoot two.
51:25sometimes out there
51:26on a basketball court
51:27you can be bleeding
51:28and not even know it
51:29and the officials
51:30they'll see blood
51:31on the floor
51:31and they'll be alarmed
51:32that somebody's
51:33bleeding.
51:34And then everybody
51:35starts surveying
51:37themselves.
51:38Their arms and legs.
51:39Was it me?
51:39Yeah.
51:41The bloody nose
51:43for Wendell Carter Jr.
51:51Anthony Black
51:52with the free throws
51:53now it's an 11-pointer
51:54Lando lead.
51:55Pistons need to be
51:56careful right now.
51:58The 10-2 run.
52:01The Magic look
52:02dialed in.
52:04And the Pistons
52:05down a couple of players
52:06and of course
52:07still down Cade.
52:09Need to play
52:09at their best.
52:11They go inside Herder
52:12with a nice setup
52:13for Jalen Dern
52:14scored the reverse
52:15off the square.
52:16But Carter Jr.
52:17runs the other way
52:18and Danis
52:20knocked it away
52:21just as he was
52:22trying to go to the rim
52:24but they'll call a foul.
52:26Even after you make
52:26a basket
52:27if you're the Pistons
52:28you gotta sprint back
52:29because Orlando's
52:30taking it out
52:30and they're trying
52:31to get it up the floor.
52:32They already have
52:3311 fast break points
52:34and only the quick hands
52:37of Danis Jenkins
52:37stopped that one
52:38but Carter
52:40will get the chance
52:40at the line.
52:45Nine-point lead
52:46for the Magic.
52:47Three and 39
52:48until halftime.
52:53Carter Jr.
52:55Linksons that lead
52:56to 10.
52:57Doing a job
52:58at the free throw line
52:59six out of seven
53:00at the free throw line.
53:01He only has one
53:02field goal
53:03in this game.
53:05Eight points
53:06three rebounds.
53:09Bends the knees
53:11and the next
53:12is in and out
53:13and back in again.
53:17So Orlando's
53:18up 11
53:19just over
53:20three and a half
53:20to play in the half.
53:22Devin Herter
53:23on the sidelines
53:24screen from Jalen Durant.
53:26Carter to the lane
53:27fires fills it up.
53:29He's been sharp
53:30so far tonight.
53:32Maybe the sharpest
53:33of the Pistons
53:34at 54 to 45
53:35now.
53:37Three and 15
53:38to play in the half.
53:43Suggs with the
53:44basketball.
53:46Devin Herter
53:47in the lane
53:48another foul
53:48called on the Pistons.
53:50And if it's
53:51Paul Reed
53:51it's three.
53:55So Sar Thompson
53:56it's on Asar
53:57so
53:58that's good
53:58and that's only
53:59his first.
54:04You know
54:04in the Philadelphia
54:05game
54:05I thought
54:06Asar Thompson
54:06did a really nice
54:07job of being
54:08and physical
54:08and being everywhere
54:10without fouling
54:11it was around
54:11this time
54:11in the Philly game
54:12he picked up
54:13his first foul.
54:17The amazing
54:18Asar Thompson
54:20he will pick up
54:21a star player
54:23and be
54:24in his chest
54:25for the full
54:2648 or as many
54:27minutes as he's
54:28out there
54:29and the stars
54:30out there.
54:34That would be
54:34annoying Greg.
54:35Oh listen
54:36for worse.
54:38I don't know
54:38what offensive
54:39player likes
54:40to have a guy
54:41in his shirt
54:43mirroring him
54:44the entire game
54:45as Asar Thompson
54:46would do.
54:47Suggs with a steal
54:48for the Magic.
54:50They're up 11.
54:52Well poked away
54:53and nearly saved
54:54by Asar
54:55deep in the corner.
55:01timeout with 2-56
55:03to play
55:03in the first half.
55:05Orlando
55:06got off to a good
55:07start.
55:07They were up 11
55:08halfway through
55:09the first.
55:10They still lead
55:11by 11
55:11with just under
55:13three to play
55:13in the first half.
55:16For this guy
55:17Asar Thompson
55:18game in
55:18and game out.
55:20He's always
55:21asked to guard
55:22and shut down
55:23the other team's
55:24best offensive players
55:25and it's an assignment
55:26that he takes
55:26willingly
55:27and takes great
55:28pride in.
55:28He's all over
55:30the place.
55:30Active hands
55:31great anticipation
55:33no team likes
55:34to deal with
55:35somebody like him
55:36and his teammates
55:37appreciate it.
55:38They love him for it
55:39and I want to
55:40start the campaign
55:41to help him
55:42get some defensive
55:43accolades
55:44at the end
55:45of the season.
