00:00There's a five second difference, shot clock to game clock.
00:04Hot hand?
00:05No, Black missed it.
00:06But a discard.
00:07Kane ends up on his backside and a foul called against Detroit.
00:13Jamal Mosley wanted the last shot there, even though there was a three or four second differential.
00:19But Black didn't hear him and shot the three and he was open.
00:22It's not a big deal.
00:24Black upset.
00:25Relax.
00:26I mean, coaches are crazy.
00:28I mean, I wasn't.
00:29But some are.
00:30All the others.
00:32But look, the effort on the glass is what gets you this.
00:36Wendell Carter Jr. got to the line with his effort on the offensive rebound on the free throw.
00:42Kane gets to the line on his effort on the glass there.
00:45They're going to have to make some of these free throws, though.
00:48They're now under 60% at the free throw line right now.
00:52Foul was called on Stewart, his third.
00:58And Kane misses on a pair.
01:02Wow.
01:03And now the Pistons can hold for one.
01:05So an empty trip there for the Magic.
01:09Detroit up by six.
01:11Nine seconds left.
01:13Cunningham to Robinson.
01:14He thought Stewart was going to make his move.
01:17And they turned it over.
01:18Sugs.
01:19Two seconds.
01:19Pulls up.
01:20Off the heel.
01:22At the horn.
01:23Got a pretty good look at it.
01:24He did.
01:25And if you're Orlando, you've got to be thrilled to only be down six right now.
01:29Absolutely thrilled.
01:31The largest cushion was 17 for Detroit.
01:35And now a six-point lead at the break.
01:38The Pistons are down three games to one in the series against Orlando.
01:42You're watching first-round coverage on Prime.
01:45Presented by Lilley.
02:14Welcome back to the NBA playoffs.
02:17Presented by Google with first-round coverage on Prime.
02:20Presented by Lilley.
02:23Get ready for the start of the second half.
02:24Detroit up by as many as 17.
02:27Currently leading by six.
02:31Paolo Vanquero, 22 points, four assists.
02:34Cade Cunningham, 27 points, including eight of eight at the free-throw line.
02:41Here is tonight's encouraging movement.
02:42Presented by Lilley.
02:44You need your best players to be at their best when their best is needed.
02:49And tonight's a huge one.
02:51Cade Cunningham getting it done from three on pull-ups.
02:56Going to the rim.
02:57Paolo Vanquero steals.
02:59Assists.
03:00Cade Buckets.
03:01These two former number one picks showing it all tonight.
03:05And getting it done at a very, very high level.
03:08And moments ago, Cassidy Hubbard with the man known as Beef Stew.
03:14Isaiah, you're dominating the battle on the boards.
03:17But as a tone setter of this team, what has to be the biggest focus here to maintain this edge?
03:22Well, keep them off the foul line.
03:24Call them, you know, no open threes and finish possessions.
03:28Make sure we finish with a rebound and we get out in transition.
03:31Cade with 27.
03:32With him scoring like that and taking care of the ball, how does that unlock your offense,
03:37especially in the second half with the season on the line?
03:39Yeah, no.
03:40It unlocks it.
03:41You know, when he's able to get to his spots and, you know, hit tough shots for us,
03:45get our offense going, and then, you know, not having no turnovers.
03:49It's green.
03:50Let's go ahead.
03:50Thanks for your time.
03:51Good luck in the second half.
03:52Thank you.
03:53Back to you.
03:53And Cassidy, the Pistons are trying to stay alive.
03:57They trail this series three games to one.
04:00The eighth seed in the East leading the one seed, Orlando and Detroit.
04:05We start this second half with the Pistons in front by six.
04:09Vankero got off to the quick start in the opening quarter.
04:12Shot clock is winding down against Thompson.
04:14Muscles in and floats it home.
04:16Well, we've said the same thing about Cade Cunningham tonight against smaller guys.
04:20Asar Thompson, a great defender, but he does not have the bulk to plate Paolo Bencaro on the back end.
04:30Back door.
04:31And the finish by Robinson.
04:33Thompson with a pretty setup.
04:36Well, Bain played on top of it, trying to keep him from coming off the screen.
04:43Duncan Robinson with a great lead.
04:47And that was rejected, but Thompson may have been injured on the play.
04:52Oh, wow.
04:54And Thompson is limping noticeably.
05:01He's limping and says, like, I'm fine, but now he says no.
05:05And Karis LeHurt is going to come in the game.
05:08Karis LeHurt, I thought, was very good.
05:09Not huge numbers in the first half, but I thought he facilitated a lot of good things and did a
05:14good job defensively.
05:18Their athletic trainer, Sebastian Poirier, will check on Thompson.
05:23And a foul is called against Harris.
05:26Well, that was just, Bain Caro just walked Tobias Harris down.
05:32And then tried to go up through it.
05:34And Thompson is just trying to walk it off right now.
05:38Along that piston sideline, they are without the services of Kevin Herter.
05:43Out with a left adductor strain.
05:47Bain Caro has now gone 5 of 8 at the free throw line.
05:52I don't even think I have an adductor.
05:55You know what, we have a...
05:56Or at least it hasn't been used in so long that I wouldn't know.
05:59We have a prime doctor on hand to check to see if you actually have an adductor.
06:05Yeah, I'm not sure that I do.
06:06Cassidy will have a report in the fourth quarter.
06:09Fleet throw shooting continues to be a problem for the Magic.
06:1311 for 21 in a game they're only down 5.
06:1768-63 Pistons.
06:19Cunningham drives it, kicks it.
06:21LeVert extra for Robinson.
06:23Shot clock is winding down.
06:25Cunningham, peaks of the clock.
06:26A grenade.
06:27It's good!
06:28Cade Cunningham!
06:30Wow.
06:324 for 5 for 3 tonight.
06:36Came in, shoots 29% in the series from the other.
06:39And he's got 30 points.
06:4271-63 Pistons.
06:44Hey, you gotta come and get him right now.
06:47Baccaro.
06:47Baccaro's come early.
06:48To Suggs.
06:49Ball fake.
06:50Bain.
06:51Fly by LeVert.
06:53And Bain makes him pay with a trade.
06:56Well, great ball movement.
06:57Starting with Baccaro making the pass to the weak side.
07:01And then a very unselfish play by Carter to give it up to a better shooter.
07:05Cunningham.
07:06A travel turnover.
07:08A travel turnover.
07:13Now here it is.
07:15The isolation.
07:16Durant smartly comes early.
07:19Look at great pass.
07:20Another great pass.
07:22I mean, you can't play any better basketball than that.
07:26Pistons went 31-9 at home this season.
07:31Need a win to keep this series going.
07:34Baccaro draws a crowd.
07:35Suggs.
07:36Open look.
07:37He's got a three.
07:38Well, that's Baccaro's fifth assist.
07:40Plus, the last play was really him creating the shot.
07:46And it's crazy, but it's the magic three-point shooting that's got them in this game.
07:51They are 10 of 18 from downtown.
07:54Harris, the answer?
07:55No.
07:56And a foul is called as Kane ends up on the ground.
07:59And it's going to be Durant.
08:00And here's Baccaro again coming into the middle.
08:05I would quit switching Duncan Robinson on to Baccaro.
08:11If you're going to have to come and help like that, either show or blitz on the screen.
08:18Baccaro one-on-one with Levert.
08:21Toss it over to Kane.
08:23Drives.
08:24Stops.
08:25Doesn't get the roll.
08:26Suggs mistimed his jump.
08:29There was a hesitation from Kane.
08:33Levert feeds it.
08:35Just about three minutes gone by in the third.
08:37Harris.
08:38Strong move.
08:39Denied by Carter.
08:42Magic are running.
08:43Down by two.
08:44Baccaro can't get it to go.
08:48Cunningham the other way.
08:50Shifts gears.
08:51Switches hands.
08:52Carter gets him.
08:54And Durant couldn't wheel for the deuce.
08:58Carter a huge factor on the defensive end.
09:02Tobias Harris hurt.
09:04Limping back up.
09:05But he cannot even move.
09:07The Carter jumper doesn't go.
09:10Knocked back over to Carter and it's out of bounds.
09:13Tobias Harris was trying to foul someone just to stop the clock.
09:18Yeah, they're going to have to either get him out or get a timeout.
09:20And he is trying to walk it off.
09:23He just waved off J.B. Bickerstaff.
09:28There it is just contesting this shot.
09:31I mean, if you're watching this, the last three possessions here, I mean, the battles are unbelievable at the rim
09:41and on the glass.
09:42This series is incredible.
09:44He grabbed his left foot after he hit the stanchion.
09:49Cunningham threw a wave of defenders.
09:52Karras Laverde missed it from long range.
09:55Orlando with a chance to tie or take the lead depending on shot selection.
10:00Bain leaves it for Carter.
10:03Suggs on a swing.
10:04Bain for the lead.
10:07Off the iron.
10:14Laverde thought there was an opening.
10:16Suggs there to clog it up.
10:1714 to shoot.
10:19Harris puts it on the deck.
10:21Drives and scores.
10:23You cannot let Tobias Harris get to his left hand.
10:27That's his comfort zone.
10:29Got to sit back to his right.
10:31He can go right.
10:32But he's not as comfortable there as getting to his left hand.
10:37Back arrow swing.
10:39Suggs took a lot of shots in game four.
10:41He floats it up.
10:42Foul is called.
10:47So I want to show you what happened with Asar Thompson.
10:50He was the second man through and it was on the landing.
10:53He was holding the right ankle buckled.
10:59And the Harris injury was the left ankle.
11:05Laverde just got called for his third foul.
11:08Bain goes behind the back.
11:10Carter wasn't expecting it.
11:13Howell Bankero.
11:15Stop and go.
11:16Stripped to the ball.
11:17Out of bounds.
11:19And Carrow trying to draw the foul there.
11:22Coming up through the arms.
11:23Didn't get the call.
11:25Gets a turnover instead.
11:26His third.
11:2873-69.
11:29Pistons.
11:31Cunningham has put up 30 points in 25 minutes.
11:36Robinson.
11:37Off the dribble drive.
11:39Tried to leave it for Laverde.
11:41Kick for Harris.
11:42Swing.
11:43Robinson shooting practice.
11:44Bottom.
11:46Great ball movement there by the Pistons.
11:49Tobias Harris with the assist to Duncan Robinson.
11:55And the Detroit lead is seven.
11:57Suggs.
11:57The penetration draws a lot of attention.
12:00Bain ball movement.
12:01Bankero.
12:02It's off.
12:03Suggs got his hand on it.
12:05Knocked out of bounds by Cunningham.
12:076-37 to play in the third.
12:10Pistons on top of the matchup.
12:15Pistons lead the Magic by seven.
12:16Welcome back, everybody.
12:17Iron Eagle, Stan Van Gundy, Cassidy Hubbard, the rest of our NBA on Prime crew.
12:21What's been effective here for the Magic?
12:23That drive and kick game has been outstanding.
12:26Yeah, Paolo Bankero.
12:27His ability to get in the paint and either finish or make plays.
12:31But here he is making plays for other.
12:33The Pistons bring virtually everybody into the lane.
12:37Desmond Bain wide open.
12:39He finds him here into the lane again.
12:41Look how many Pistons are in the paint.
12:44All five of them.
12:46Jalen Suggs wide open.
12:48Bankero makes the play.
12:50If you want to dive deeper into this or any NBA playoffs topic, ask AI Mode in Google search.
12:57Get it in.
12:59Carter is fouled by Duren.
13:01I don't know exactly what happened to the Pistons on that defensive possession to just give up that cut down
13:09the middle.
13:11And that is number four on Jalen Duren.
13:16So Carter heads to the free-throw line.
13:19Duren had a quick seven to start the game.
13:21He has yet to score since that burst.
13:26These guys don't need to worry a whole heck of a lot about fouls, though, because they've got two of
13:31them.
13:31The key end, Isaiah Stewart, who will now come in the game.
13:35The Magic make a free throw there.
13:37They're going to need to convert these at a much higher rate in the second half.
13:41And Stewart replaces Duren at the 6.36 mark of the third.
13:46Jenkins is in for the Pistons as well.
13:50And Harris remains in there, but not the case for Thompson,
13:55who had made his way through the tunnel at one point during that timeout.
14:01You notice the one thing that J.D. Bickerstaff is doing tonight that I think has been a good move
14:06is playing Cade Cunningham in shorter stints.
14:10I think he's still not back at 100% after the collapse long.
14:19Half court set here for Detroit.
14:21Harris switch out front.
14:23Now he's got the big Carter.
14:26Harris lost the ball for a moment.
14:28Shot clock is down to two.
14:29Harris makes his move.
14:30Harris tosses it up.
14:31Banker doesn't go.
14:33And the rebound controlled by the Magic.
14:37Push it up the floor.
14:38Too high.
14:39Black had Van Carro cutting to the rim.
14:42Those are the turnovers you don't really mind as much.
14:44It wasn't a bad decision.
14:46He was open.
14:47That was the pass that should have been made.
14:50He's just got to get it on target.
14:51And a foul called on Bain.
14:54And here is Thompson returning to the bench area for Detroit.
14:58That's the fourth foul on Bain.
15:01You mentioned the rotation for Detroit for Orlando.
15:07Jabal Mosley has played eight.
15:09That's it.
15:10Well, he was playing nine.
15:11Obviously, Franz Wagner out if he needed.
15:14He thought he would need a ninth.
15:15And then he would decide between Javon Carter and Jed Howard, depending on the situation.
15:21And with the foul trouble he's got on Bain right now, we may indeed see one of those guys in
15:26the second half.
15:27Get it in.
15:28Jenkins controls.
15:29Robinson one-on-one with Suggs.
15:31Eight to shoot.
15:32Past the halfway point of the third.
15:34Jenkins penetrates and gets the roll.
15:4178-71, Pistons.
15:46Black two-man game with Bain.
15:48Carol, now they involve Suggs.
15:49Deep shot, missed it on a rainbow J.
15:52Got to make that pocket pass back to Bain.
15:54Carol.
15:55But the hustle of Suggs gets his hand on the ball, knocks it out of bounds.
16:03So, the Pistons will have plenty of time to work with.
16:06And now Cade Cunningham will check in along with Asar Thompson.
16:12So, great sign for Detroit.
16:16You assume he got re-taped.
16:21A quick stint in the back and now back on the floor.
16:32The Baird tosses in for Harris.
16:37The Pistons up by seven.
16:41Pistons are shooting 50% from the field.
16:43Orlando, 46%.
16:46Cunningham screen from Stewart.
16:49And taken away by Carter.
16:51Hits the deck.
16:52That ball still loose.
16:53Cunningham and Suggs getting after it.
16:55And Suggs saves it.
16:57Bain Carol thought about it.
16:58And Thompson steps in front for the steal.
17:01There's so many great hustle plays here.
17:04And a knock away by Black.
17:07Back and forth we go.
17:09Turnover to turnover.
17:12Orlando has missed its last six shots.
17:14Bain Carol puts an end to that with the lay-in.
17:18Well, some of these passes normally can be made because the defense isn't as good.
17:24You've got to adjust in this series.
17:26The defense and the effort are great.
17:28You've got to be much more aware of defense in the passage.
17:32You know, Harris.
17:35Harris.
17:35Pull-up jump.
17:36It's pure.
17:40I know I'm a broken record.
17:41I'd like to see them defensively pushing him more to his right hand than his left.
17:46Well, 80-73 Detroit.
17:49We approach four minutes to go in the third.
17:51Da Silva.
17:55Carter bounces for Black.
17:57Black stripped of the ball.
17:58They are running.
18:00Detroit on the move.
18:01The speed of Thompson ahead.
18:03Harris puts it down with a hammer jam.
18:11Timeout.
18:12Timeout.
18:15Well, the turnovers turning into points here.
18:18Pistons defense stepping up here in the third.
18:27What is the tone you feel like you need to set defensively tonight?
18:31Be the most physical player on the court.
18:34Bully people and, you know, take everything in the game at a time.
18:38Take everything in possession at a time.
18:41Pre-game chat.
18:43Asar Thompson with our own Cassidy Hubbard.
18:45Well, already three steals tonight for Asar Thompson.
18:49Led the league in steals during the season.
18:52Was third in defensive player of the year voting.
18:57And, look, second in the league in deflections.
19:00In addition to leading the league in steals.
19:03And got more votes for defensive player of the year than his brother.
19:08Detroit, last year, lost in the first round of the Knicks in six games.
19:12This year, the number one seed in the East.
19:15And they trail eight-seeded Orlando three games to one.
19:19Black.
19:21Yes.
19:21From the outside.
19:22Well, Black emerging as another offensive option with Bain on the bench, especially the Magic hanging in this game.
19:34Black is now three of four from downtown.
19:3782-76.
19:38Cunningham strong.
19:39He's fouled.
19:40And he had a stare down after the play with Black.
19:46Well, and this is what we had talked about earlier in the game.
19:49Where the Magic are really missing Franz Wagner.
19:53More on this end defensively even than the 20 points a game.
19:57He gives them.
19:58He had been doing a great job guarding Cade Cunningham.
20:04Right calf tightness for Franz Wagner.
20:09Cunningham continues to make his free throws.
20:11He's nine of nine.
20:14Wagner played in 34 games this season.
20:16It was a high ankle sprain that kept him out of action.
20:20Did not play in the fourth quarter of game four.
20:22That's when you realize, okay, this could be serious.
20:25That was a tight game.
20:26Absolutely.
20:27We were all texting.
20:29You and I and Cassidy and our producer, Eric Mosley.
20:33And look, you know a guy that competitive, if he's not playing game four at home in the fourth quarter,
20:39you knew it had to be serious.
20:41I was not texting.
20:42I was using AI.
20:43Oh, okay.
20:44Okay.
20:45Back in.
20:46Vankero.
20:47Can't get it to go.
20:48Rebound knocked around and controlled by Thompson.
20:52Pistons in transition.
20:54Swing it.
20:55Cunningham.
20:56Got him.
20:57Wow.
20:57He is putting on a show tonight.
21:00Five for six from three.
21:0335 points.
21:06Vankero rejected at the rim by Stewart.
21:11But contact there from Stewart and Vankero ends up on the hardwood.
21:19Yeah, I think he did get his arm.
21:23Great, strong drive.
21:26But Asar Thompson here pushing the pace and then finding Gabe Cunningham, who's shooting the ball with incredible confidence.
21:4287-76 Detroit, Vankero is five of nine at the free throw line.
21:47And he's shooting his 10th and 11 free throws.
21:52I mean, you look at an 11-point game and you've missed 11 free throws.
21:56Upcoming series schedule.
21:57Game six, if necessary, scheduled for Friday night at Orlando.
22:01We would have it for you here on Prime.
22:03And then if there's a game seven, it is set for Sunday.
22:08Go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app for more.
22:11This is two more.
22:1413 for 25 at the line.
22:17Vankero's done pretty much everything well except two free throws.
22:22Pistons lead by 11.
22:25Green.
22:26Off.
22:27Flying in Thompson.
22:30Offensive rebound and a reload.
22:33Jenkins using the screen.
22:34He's got the big bataze.
22:35Green fires.
22:37It's off.
22:37And Kane is there for the board.
22:40Thompson gets his hand on it.
22:42And he was on the baseline, out of bounds.
22:45What an effort.
22:46He was number two in the NBA this season in deflections.
22:49This guy is incredible.
22:52He is incredible with his athleticism and his effort every single night.
23:00And because he has built those habits,
23:03he doesn't need to think about tuning it up in the playoffs.
23:06This is how this guy plays all the time.
23:09Detroit is plus 13 in the rebounding category.
23:1236 to 23.
23:14Under two minutes to go now in the third.
23:17Black over green.
23:19On target.
23:21That's a long two-pointer for Anthony Black,
23:24and he has been a difference maker tonight for the Magic.
23:2616 points.
23:2987 to 78.
23:30Pistons.
23:33Cunningham has poured in 35.
23:34He draws Bataze on the outside.
23:37And they did not want that switch.
23:38That was supposed to be a blitz.
23:40But Stewart just took Kane out of the play
23:43and left Bataze on an item.
23:45Lead feed.
23:46De Silva misses on a three.
23:48Kane got his hands on it,
23:49but it's controlled by Detroit.
23:52Thompson was looking to attack.
23:54He gets cut off by Banquero.
23:58Cunningham goes to work.
24:00Number one pick against number one pick.
24:02Cunningham swing.
24:04Jenkins ball fake.
24:05Jenkins jumper.
24:07In and out.
24:09And it's tapped out of bounds by Stewart.
24:12Wow.
24:13I'll tell you,
24:14the effort in this series,
24:16I have so much respect
24:18for both these teams
24:20and all these players.
24:21This has been an incredible series to watch.
24:241-0-2 to play
24:26in the third.
24:31The Magic trail the Pistons by nine.
24:38Bancaro tosses in for Black.
24:42Screen Bataze.
24:45Bancaro one-on-one with Thompson.
24:47Jab.
24:48Lean.
24:49Discard.
24:50Kick.
24:51Kane.
24:52Can't hit the three.
24:53Pumped up in the air.
24:55And Thompson goes airborne to get it.
25:0040 seconds to go in the third quarter.
25:03Cunningham walks the dance with Kane.
25:05Swatted by Bataze.
25:07Count it.
25:07It's goaltending.
25:09Ladies and gentlemen,
25:11that's called goaltending.
25:1637 for Cade Cunningham.
25:18Yeah, they just...
25:21Kane is working hard.
25:22He just cannot play him.
25:24That not having Franz Wagner
25:26to defend Cade Cunningham
25:29has been a major problem
25:32for the Magic.
25:33Bancaro looks at the clock
25:34one-on-one with Thompson.
25:36Bancaro drives it
25:37and loses it out of bounds
25:39off of Detroit.
25:40So, seven seconds to work with.
25:45We need one.
25:46We need one.
25:49We need one.
25:52Black to toss it in.
25:54Cutter is Kane.
25:56And he's fouled.
25:58Kane thought he was gonna have
25:59another poster.
26:00I'll tell you what.
26:01When Kane goes to finish,
26:03he has nothing soft about it.
26:07He is hammering the ball down.
26:09But this is the second cut
26:11for a layup on baseline
26:13out of bounds.
26:14Cade Cunningham just taking a rest
26:16with Kane in the weak side corner.
26:19And I get it.
26:20Cade Cunningham's tired.
26:21He's done incredible work
26:23and he just fell asleep on that.
26:26And Kane is missing his free throws.
26:29This is incredible
26:30at the free throw line.
26:33Magic shooting 50%.
26:36This is a team that led the NBA
26:39in free throws made
26:40and free throws attempted
26:41during the regular season.
26:43Well, and they were eighth
26:44in the league in free throw percentage.
26:46They shot 80% as a team.
26:49They came in shooting
26:51only 75% in the series
26:53and then tonight
26:55really struggling.
26:56Adjustment made by Kane.
26:5810-point game.
27:00Shot clock is turned off.
27:02Only 19 points in the quarter
27:04for Orlando.
27:05They've shot 35% here in the third.
27:07They've turned it over five times.
27:09Six seconds left.
27:11Cunningham one-on-one
27:12with Kane.
27:13Switch.
27:14Swing.
27:15Green.
27:16Too strong.
27:17And that's how the quarter will end.
27:20The Pistons, 89.
27:23The Magic, 79.
27:25Orlando trying to end this series
27:27in five.
27:28Detroit hoping to extend it.

27:59if they don't get it done tonight.
28:0189-79.
28:03Detroit in front.
28:04Thompson to the rim.
28:05Puts it in!
28:07Asar Thompson is just
28:09ridiculously athletic.
28:11Oh my gosh.
28:12What a finish.
28:12But you cannot allow him
28:15to take the ball
28:16down the middle,
28:18get all the way to the rim
28:19and have him a possession
28:20where they don't even have
28:21to pass the ball.
28:22He's got 12 rebounds,
28:23five assists,
28:24four steals,
28:25six points tonight.
28:27Bain,
28:28deep one.
28:28and it's off
28:30but Taze got his hands on it.
28:32Thompson grabs his
28:3313-4 to the night.
28:37Early offense,
28:38Stewart couldn't catch it.
28:39Turnover.
28:40Suggs for Bain,
28:42accelerating.
28:43Bain,
28:43ball fake,
28:44kick.
28:45Suggs on the drive.
28:46The floater is good.
28:5110-point game.
28:53First minute of play
28:54here in the fourth bank.
28:55Carroll watching from the bench.
28:56Cunningham has lost
28:5832 minutes.
29:01Cunningham.
29:02Kick.
29:03Green.
29:04The high arcing three.
29:07Connection made.
29:08Calvin Johnson likes
29:09what he sees.
29:11Well,
29:11Green shot 38%
29:13from three
29:13during the season.
29:15And Bain
29:17steps on the sideline.
29:18Turnover.
29:19Magic.
29:21And look at Thompson here
29:23just down the middle.
29:25But Taze goes up to challenge
29:27but moves his body
29:28out of the way.
29:29And then
29:30Cade Cunningham
29:32drawn help
29:32and kicking it out.
29:34Only Cunningham's
29:35second assist of the night
29:36has been scoring the ball
29:38on his own
29:39for the most part.
29:42Thompson one-on-one
29:43with Cain.
29:43Robinson open look.
29:45Bulls on.
29:51These teams
29:52have made the fewest
29:53threes of any series
29:54in the first round.
29:55Have been the worst
29:56shooting teams
29:58of the first round.
29:59And now all of a sudden
30:01they lighten it up.
30:02And it's unraveling
30:03here for Orlando.
30:05Two.
30:06Three.
30:07Four.
30:07The foul is called
30:09on Bataze.
30:12That is
30:1213 Magic turnovers.
30:16And they trail
30:17the Pistons by 16.
30:22Well,
30:23and the Magic
30:24have had fewer turnovers
30:25than the Pistons
30:26in every game
30:28of this series
30:28until tonight.
30:29And now they have
30:30one more
30:31turnover than the Pistons.
30:33Cunningham bounces.
30:34Stepping in front
30:34is Black.
30:35I don't like that.
30:37Cunningham's got
30:37sugs on him.
30:39Van Carro flips it in.
30:41Yeah, great job
30:42by Van Carro.
30:43Gabe Cunningham
30:44doesn't need
30:45to make that pass.
30:46He got the switch
30:47that he wanted.
30:48He's just got to
30:49go to work,
30:49get to his spot
30:50and get it over the top.
30:52Five turnovers now
30:53for Cunningham.
30:56Cunningham.
30:57The jumper
30:58doesn't go.
30:59And it's rebounded
31:01by Carter.
31:03It's a 14-point game.
31:06Sugs.
31:07No hesitation
31:08on the three.
31:09Missed it.
31:10Rebound kept
31:10alive by Black.
31:12Terrific effort.
31:14Black's jumper
31:15is good.
31:16Anthony Black
31:18from long range.
31:20Wow, he earned
31:21that one.
31:22He's the one
31:23who created
31:23the second opportunity
31:25and then he
31:26knocks down
31:27the three.
31:29And how many times,

32:12I hate to nitpick
32:14a great performance
32:15like Cade Cunningham's,
32:16but I think he started
32:17this fourth quarter
32:18a little casual.
32:19He's just made
32:21simple passes.
32:22I like this a lot better.
32:24Oh, Duran muscles it in
32:26and a foul.
32:27What a great finish
32:29and better.
32:31Cade Cunningham
32:32just kept
32:32walking his way
32:34to the basket
32:36and Carter got caught
32:38just a little
32:38out of position.
32:40Great pass.
32:41Cade Cunningham
32:42needs to make sure
32:43they finish this game.
32:44You can't relax
32:45in an elimination game
32:47at any point.
32:48And the third foul
32:50on Carter.
32:51Duran now has
32:529 points,
32:546 rebounds,
32:55an all-star this season.
32:56Tack on another.
32:57So he cracks
32:58double figures.
33:01That was
33:02the first foul
33:03of the fourth quarter.
33:04That's amazing.
33:06That has to be
33:06a record for this series
33:07to go almost
33:09three minutes
33:09without a foul.
33:1099-86 Detroit.
33:13Vancaro gets
33:13the matchup
33:14with Laverne.
33:15Vancaro
33:16turns
33:17and hits.
33:18Just too big.
33:20Just too big.
33:2231
33:23for the Seattle native
33:26Paolo Vancaro.
33:2999-88
33:30Pistons.
33:31Cunningham
33:32using the screen.
33:33Laverne
33:34loses the ball.
33:35Payne got in there.
33:37Suggs gets it ahead
33:37for Black.
33:38Extended minutes
33:39for him.
33:40He's played
33:4030 minutes.
33:41He's scored
33:4219 points.
33:43He has
33:43four steals.
33:45Black.
33:47Rejected
33:47by Thompson.
33:52Out of bounds.
33:53It's his second
33:54block of the night
33:55to go with
33:5613 rebounds,
33:586 assists,
33:59and 4 steals.
34:00And better
34:01be aware
34:01if you're
34:02a fan.
34:05And a foul
34:06call.
34:07Thompson
34:07underneath
34:08as Bain
34:09went down
34:10hard to the
34:11floor.
34:12They're giving
34:12cuts to the
34:13rim on out-of-bounds
34:15plays.
34:16Two already
34:17in the second
34:19half on baseline
34:20out-of-bounds
34:20plays,
34:21and now one
34:21on the side
34:22out-of-bounds.
34:23Inexcusable
34:24for a team
34:25who hangs
34:26their hat
34:26on the
34:27defensive end.
34:34Desmond
34:34Bain
34:35this season
34:36finished
34:37third in the
34:38league in
34:39free-throw
34:39shooting at
34:4091%.
34:41Now we
34:42see that's
34:42his first
34:43attempt of
34:44the night
34:44at the
34:44line.
34:46Relatively
34:47quiet for
34:48him.
34:4814 points.
34:51And he
34:52makes a
34:52pair.
34:53Well,
34:53he struggled
34:54in the first
34:55two games
34:55here.
34:57Only
34:57averaged
34:5814.5
34:59points,
34:59shot 29%,
35:00and was
35:013-for-15
35:02from 3
35:04in the first
35:04two games
35:05here in
35:05Detroit.
35:06Harris
35:06ready.
35:07Harris
35:07hits.
35:08Well,
35:09that's his
35:09first attempt
35:10from 3
35:11tonight.
35:12He came
35:13into this
35:13game 3-for-21.
35:15Should mention,
35:16Javante
35:16Green,
35:17they changed
35:18the score.
35:19They ruled
35:19that Green's
35:20shot earlier
35:20was a
35:21two-pointer,
35:21not a
35:22three.
35:23Bancaro's
35:23three is
35:24good.
35:25Paolo
35:25Bancaro
35:26with a
35:27downtown
35:27hit.
35:28Wow.
35:29He's made
35:30three of
35:30them
35:30tonight.
35:31He and
35:31Cade
35:31Cunningham
35:33have lived
35:34up to
35:36their
35:36billing
35:36as
35:37stars
35:37tonight.
35:39Cade
35:40Cunningham's
35:40got to
35:40attack
35:41this
35:41switch.
35:42Harris
35:43drive it,
35:44fade it,
35:45and hit it.
35:46You know
35:47what I'm
35:47going to
35:47say?
35:48You can't
35:49keep letting
35:49him go
35:50to his
35:50left
35:50room.
35:51Tobias
35:52Harris
35:52stepping up
35:53big.
35:5421 points
35:55for Harris.
35:55Bancaro
35:56puts it
35:57in.
35:58He puts
35:59the bank
36:00in Bancaro
36:01off the
36:01window.
36:04You got
36:05a lot
36:05of great
36:05lines,
36:06but that
36:06was big
36:07time.
36:08The bank
36:08in Bancaro.
36:09I love
36:10that one.
36:13And a
36:14chance at
36:14a three-point
36:15play.
36:18Bancaro's
36:19got 36.
36:19He can
36:20match
36:20Cunningham
36:21with a
36:22make here.
36:23And it's
36:24short.
36:24That's the
36:25one place
36:26he struggled.
36:27Five for
36:2712 at
36:28the line
36:28tonight.
36:29The Magic
36:29have missed
36:3014.
36:31And the
36:32Magic are
36:32going to go
36:33zone right
36:33here.
36:34Give
36:34Detroit
36:35a different
36:35look.
36:37So it's
36:37Harris out
36:38high.
36:39Nine to
36:40shoot.
36:41Having a
36:41catch with
36:42Lavert.
36:45Cunningham.
36:46Tight space
36:46there with
36:47Bain.
36:47Shot clock
36:48winding down.
36:49Cunningham
36:49hoists.
36:50Put down
36:51by Duren.
36:55That's their
36:5613th offensive
36:57rebound and
36:58they've got
36:5820-second
36:59chance
37:00points.
37:01Bancaro.
37:01String music
37:03for Paolo
37:03Bancaro.
37:0539 points.
37:08Magic just
37:09hanging around.
37:11106 to
37:1298.
37:14The Pistons
37:14can't shake
37:15Orlando.
37:19Spread it.
37:20Cunningham
37:21gives it up.
37:22Harris the
37:23answer.
37:24No.
37:25Tip in.
37:25No.
37:26Duren the
37:27offensive board.
37:28Trying to
37:29reload it.
37:30Does.
37:30Lavert was
37:31tripped.
37:31And a foul
37:32is called.
37:39Bancaro just
37:40giving him a
37:41lot of room.
37:42Nobody
37:42guarding him.
37:43Duren comes
37:44late.
37:44But he had
37:45all day to
37:46line that one
37:47up.
37:47It hits his
37:47fourth three
37:48of the night.
37:49But the
37:49Pistons just
37:50dominating the
37:52offensive glass.
37:56The foul
37:57on black.
37:59That is his
38:00fourth.
38:01Jenkins back
38:02in for
38:03Detroit.
38:05Robinson
38:05returns as
38:06well.
38:08And again
38:08we made it.
38:09We made the
38:10point earlier.
38:11Kate Cunningham
38:11playing in
38:12shorter stints.
38:13Getting the
38:14ball.
38:14It won't be
38:15long.
38:15A minute or
38:16two maybe
38:17before.
38:17I don't know
38:18if they'll
38:18finish this
38:19game.
38:20Shot clock is
38:21down to one.
38:22Harris has
38:23to put it
38:23up.
38:24Short.
38:25And the
38:26long rebound
38:27to Bain.
38:29Eight point
38:30game.
38:31Halfway
38:31toward of
38:31the fourth.
38:32Suggs feeds
38:33it for
38:33black.
38:33He's had
38:34the hot
38:34hand all
38:34night.
38:36And that's
38:36an air
38:37ball.
38:38Think he
38:38thought he
38:38was going
38:39to get
38:39fouled
38:39there.
38:40That was
38:41a tough
38:42contested
38:42three.
38:44Offensing
38:45rebounding
38:46numbers favor
38:47the Pistons.
38:4815 to 6
38:49and a foul
38:50against
38:51Bain.
38:51That is
38:52number five
38:53on Bain.
38:54And it was
38:55an obvious
38:55call.
38:56Exchanging
38:57words.
38:58They went
38:59face to
39:00face as
39:01Harris had
39:02something to
39:02say.
39:04Bain
39:05barked
39:05back.
39:07And the
39:07Pistons will
39:08have it on
39:08the side.
39:09It's an
39:09obvious
39:09foul.
39:11Teams
39:11try to do
39:12this all
39:12the time.
39:13You want
39:13to root
39:13the screener
39:14up so
39:15that black
39:16can go
39:16under
39:17rather than
39:17switching.
39:18But that
39:19was just
39:19blatant
39:20with two
39:20hands.
39:21You got
39:21to put
39:22your body
39:22on the
39:23guy and
39:23root him
39:24up.
39:25Cunningham
39:25drives it
39:27and draws
39:28the foul.
39:30Cade
39:30Cunningham
39:31does it
39:31all at
39:32his pace.
39:34And look
39:35without
39:35Franz Wagner
39:36and if
39:37they win
39:37the night
39:38the Magic
39:39are going
39:39to have
39:39to do
39:40this
39:40again.
39:40They
39:40just
39:41do
39:41not
39:41have
39:41anybody
39:42that
39:43can
39:43match
39:43up
39:43with
39:44Cade
39:44Cunningham.
39:44He's
39:45too
39:45big
39:45and
39:45too
39:45strong.
39:48Cunningham
39:48has
39:4937 points
39:50and 38
39:51minutes

41:18the
41:18Magic
41:18have
41:18for
41:19Cunningham
41:19right now.
41:20It's
41:20Paolo
41:20Bain
41:21Carroll.
41:21He's
41:21only
41:22got
41:22two
41:22fouls.
41:23Both
41:24these
41:24guys
41:24now
41:25gave
41:26Cunningham
41:26on him.
41:27It's
41:28tough
41:28fatigue
41:29wise.
41:30Bain
41:31Carroll
41:31had it
41:31knocked
41:31away.
41:32It's
41:32a
41:32turnover.
41:33Great
41:33help
41:33by
41:34Durham.
41:34Kept
41:34his
41:35body
41:35right
41:35in front.
41:36Cunningham
41:42Fouled.
41:47They're
41:48complaining
41:49that he
41:49got fouled
41:50on this
41:51but I
41:51don't
41:51think so.
41:52I think
41:52that is
41:53a great
41:54defensive
41:54play
41:55by Jalen
41:56Duren.
41:57Stayed
41:57vertical.
42:01Jalen
42:02Duren's
42:02not a guy
42:03you can
42:03just go
42:03through.
42:05That is
42:07the
42:07fourth
42:08foul
42:08on
42:09Carter.
42:11Cunningham
42:11back to
42:12the
42:12stripe.
42:15I think
42:16we've
42:16got a
42:16blood
42:17issue
42:17is what
42:18Cade
42:18Cunningham
42:18was
42:19talking
42:20about.
42:21Yeah
42:22he
42:22indicated
42:23that to
42:24Kevin
42:24Cutler.
42:25I'm not
42:25so sure
42:26that Cade
42:26Cunningham
42:27didn't try
42:27to cut
42:27himself
42:28so he
42:28can get
42:28a little
42:29bit of
42:29a break.
42:30I mean
42:30the work
42:31those two
42:31guys are
42:32having to
42:32do
42:32tonight.
42:33Cade
42:34Cunningham
42:34has played
42:3539 minutes.
42:37This is a
42:37guy coming
42:38off
42:38a collapsed
42:39lung.
42:40Played
42:41three games
42:42back at the
42:43end of the
42:44season but
42:45played about
42:46half of each
42:47game and not
42:48against this
42:48level of
42:49competition.
42:50What he's doing
42:50tonight is
42:51phenomenal.
42:55Cunningham
42:56has put up
42:5739 points
42:59so has
42:59Vankero.
43:00Five turnovers
43:02tonight for
43:02Cunningham
43:04who had
43:05eight
43:05turnovers
43:05in the
43:06loss
43:07Monday
43:07night
43:07in
43:07game
43:08four.
43:10Detroit
43:10came in
43:11with 73
43:12turnovers
43:12in the
43:13first four
43:14games.
43:14Orlando
43:14had 57.
43:16No
43:16question.
43:16I mean
43:17the possession
43:17game
43:18had been
43:19controlled
43:19by Orlando
43:20but tonight
43:21the
43:21offensive
43:22board
43:22domination
43:23has
43:24given
43:24Detroit
43:25the
43:25advantage
43:26in the
43:26possession
43:26game
43:27and unless
43:28something
43:28changes
43:29drastically
43:29here
43:30in the
43:30next
43:30four
43:30and a
43:31half
43:31minutes
43:32the
43:32possession
43:33game
43:33will be
43:33won
43:34by
43:34Detroit
43:35and
43:35they've
43:36got a
43:36great
43:36chance
43:36of
43:37making
43:37five
43:38games
43:38in a
43:38row
43:38that
43:39whoever
43:39wins
43:39the
43:39possession
43:40game
43:40wins
43:41the
43:42game.
43:43So
43:44Cunningham
43:44gets a
43:45chance
43:45to catch
43:45his breath
43:47and he's
43:47putting on
43:48an exhibition
43:49at the
43:49free throw
43:49line.
43:5013 of
43:5113.
43:52That's
43:5240 points
43:53for Cade
43:54Cunningham.
43:55I hope
43:56both fan
43:57bases here
43:58and national
43:59fans
44:00understand
44:01what a
44:02privilege it
44:03is to
44:03watch this
44:04series with
44:05guys putting
44:05out the
44:06effort
44:06they're
44:07putting out.
44:07I'm telling
44:08you I've
44:08been around
44:09a long
44:09time and
44:10not much
44:11wows me
44:11but this
44:12does.
44:12This series
44:13has been
44:14phenomenal.
44:15They are
44:15absolutely
44:16getting after
44:17it.
44:17Suggs
44:18floats it
44:18up.
44:18Short.
44:19Carter
44:19keeps it
44:20alive.
44:20It's
44:20grabbed
44:21by
44:21Robinson.
44:22The
44:22lead
44:23is
44:23nine.
44:24Thompson
44:25takes it
44:26into the
44:26teeth of
44:26the defense
44:27slides down.
44:28Bing
44:28gets in
44:28there.
44:29Bain
44:30trying to
44:30give it
44:30up.
44:31It's a
44:31battle for
44:32it.
44:33And it's
44:34knocked over
44:35to Black.
44:36Bodies
44:36going down
44:37left and
44:38right.
44:38Bain
44:39to the
44:39rim.
44:39Flips it
44:40up.
44:40Doesn't get
44:40the roll.
44:41He put a
44:42little too
44:42much spin
44:43in on it.
44:48Under four
44:48minutes to go
44:49and a
44:50timeout call
44:50by J.B.
44:51Bickerstaff.
44:56These two
44:57teams going
44:58toe-to-toe
45:00here in
45:00Game 5.
45:01You're watching
45:01first-round coverage
45:02on Prime
45:03presented
45:04by Lillie.
45:23Back here on Prime
45:24in Detroit
45:25where the Pistons
45:26lead the Magic
45:27110-101.
45:30This is the
45:30story in the
45:31Eastern Conference.
45:32Cleveland and
45:33Toronto battling
45:34right now.
45:352-2 in that
45:35series.
45:36The Knicks have
45:37the 3-2
45:37advantage over
45:38Atlanta.
45:39And the Celtics
45:40up 3-2 on
45:41Philadelphia.
45:42The Magic with a
45:43chance to close
45:44out the series
45:44tonight.
45:46Detroit
45:46trying to
45:47extend it.
45:48Yeah, you know,
45:49and if Detroit
45:50hangs on and
45:50wins this and
45:51gets their
45:52second win in
45:53the series,
45:54have we ever
45:54had a conference
45:55before first-round
45:57series where
45:57everybody wins
45:58at least two
45:59games?
46:00Carter steps in
46:01for the steal.
46:02And then
46:03Duren came over
46:04the top with
46:06contact.
46:07Well, I just
46:08came Cunningham
46:09with his sixth
46:10turnover tonight.
46:11Obviously, he's
46:11been fabulous with
46:1341 points, but I
46:14just feel like in
46:15this fourth quarter,
46:16he hasn't been
46:17aggressive enough
46:18offensively.
46:19He can't play the
46:21margin on the
46:22scoreboard.
46:22He's got to
46:23close this
46:24out, got to
46:25be a little
46:25more ruthless
46:26here and tough
46:28in this fourth
46:29quarter.
46:29That is the
46:30third team foul
46:31against the
46:31Pistons.
46:33Orlando is over
46:33the limit.
46:34Vankero will
46:35feed it for
46:36Black, one-on-one
46:37with Robinson.
46:38Black, give it
46:39back to Vankero,
46:40lines it up, and
46:41knocks it down
46:42at three.
46:43Oh, gosh.
46:46110 to
46:47104.
46:49He's got 15
46:50in the quarter
46:51and 42
46:52overall.
46:54Cunningham,
46:54drive, kick,
46:56Jenkins, off the
46:58mark.
46:58It went through
46:59the hands of
46:59Bain.
47:00Vankero grabs it.
47:02Get it ahead for
47:03Suggs.
47:04Suggs was looking
47:05to attack, gets
47:06cut off by
47:07Robinson.
47:08Carter should have
47:09run to the rim
47:09on that one.
47:10Would have had a
47:11chance at a
47:12layup.
47:12Suggs, no look,
47:13corner, Carter,
47:15off the rim.
47:17Rebound Bain.
47:18And a reload for
47:20Orlando.
47:21Vankero had it
47:22knocked away by
47:22Thompson.
47:23Vankero trying to
47:24get it back,
47:24cannot.
47:25Oh, what a pass
47:26ahead.
47:26Robinson trying to
47:28take it in.
47:29Popped out of there.
47:30Robinson is there.
47:31But the ball is
47:33going to go the
47:33other way.
47:35I mean, you
47:36think people have
47:37layups in this
47:38series, and there's
47:40somebody coming to
47:41contest.
47:43Incredible defensive
47:44play by Thompson
47:45down here to get his
47:47fifth steal of the
47:48night.
47:49play, but then the
47:50Pistons cannot convert
47:52Bain with a great
47:53contest for a guy with
47:55five fouls.
47:56And the ball hit the
47:57shot clock.
48:00And the last touch was
48:02Jenkins in Detroit.
48:04That's why Orlando has
48:05it with 2.24 to go.
48:07Vankero can't get it to
48:10drop.
48:10And it's rebounded on the
48:13weak side by Thompson.
48:15Kade Cunningham's got to
48:17look to go here.
48:19Cunningham has a screen
48:20from Thompson.
48:21Switch now with Suggs.
48:24Cunningham drives in,
48:25steps back, count it.
48:27That's what he's got to
48:28do.
48:29I admire the
48:30unselfishness of
48:31distributing the ball,
48:33but they're playing him
48:34one-on-one, and none of
48:36these guys can guard him.
48:39112-104, 43 for
48:41Cade.
48:42Kick, corner, Bain,
48:43they need it.
48:44Off the rim.
48:45Rebounded by Carter.
48:47Clear it for Suggs.
48:48He'll drive it, dish it,
48:50and Carter with the
48:51flush.
48:52Nice play.
48:53Still a lot of time in
48:55this.
48:55You can't quite put him
48:57away.
48:58If I'm Cade Cunningham,
48:59same thing.
49:00I'm looking to go one-on-one.
49:02They don't have anybody
49:03that can guard you.
49:03You don't need to get a
49:04switch.
49:07Contact.
49:07Bain goes down.
49:09Robinson fires.
49:11No good.
49:12Suggs gets it ahead for
49:13Bain.
49:14Pedal to the middle.
49:15And Bain will back it
49:17out.
49:17Suggs into the hands of
49:18Bancaro.
49:19The Magic are down by
49:20six.
49:21Bancaro makes his move.
49:23Denied by Durant.
49:35A volleyball spike out of
49:37bounds.
49:3813 to shoot.
49:39A minute 12 to go in the
49:41fourth.
49:44Get it in Bancaro.
49:45He fires.
49:47Nylon!
49:47Oh my gosh.
49:49Six made threes.
49:5045 points.
49:52And it's three-point game.
49:54112 to 109.
49:56The Magic will not die.
49:58He wants to get the switch
50:00with Desmond Bain.
50:02Gotta get out of his way.
50:03Yeah.
50:04Good for the Magic to come
50:05back and double.
50:06We're under a minute to go.
50:08Harris with five to shoot.
50:11Harris goes to work.
50:13Drives it.
50:13Fades.
50:14Just grazes the rim.
50:16Tapped over.
50:17Thompson gets his hands on
50:18it and saves it for Harris.
50:2039 seconds on the clock.
50:22Pistons with the ball up by
50:23three.
50:25Six to shoot.
50:26Cunningham shake and bake.
50:27Cunningham fired.
50:29Oh yeah!
50:35Detroit extends the lead.
50:3831.3 left.
50:41The show we're seeing tonight
50:43from these two guys.
50:4445 points apiece.
50:47Cade Cunningham has finally
50:48realized in these last
50:49couple possessions.
50:50He's gotta go do it himself.
50:52If I'm the Magic,
50:56I'm coming and doubling him
50:58every time.
51:03Tonight's drive to the finish
51:05presented by Honda.
51:07Cade Cunningham can just get
51:09wherever he wants on the floor
51:12and scores.
51:13And he's gotta do that now.
51:15But still plenty of time.
51:17Five point game.
51:19The Magic still have
51:20one timeout left.
51:21Detroit's got two.
51:22Cade Cunningham doing it all.
51:2745 for Cunningham.
51:2945 for Bankero.
51:30The big one here for Cade
51:33to put his team up by five.
51:40Single game playoff high.
51:42It now belongs to Cade Cunningham.
51:45He tops the great Dave Bing
51:47who scored 44
51:49back in a 1968 playoff game.
51:53Isaiah Thomas put up 43 in 1988.
51:56And Bankero 45 points.
52:00The playoff record is Dwight Howard
52:03and Tracy McGrady with 46 each.
52:06Wow.
52:0831.3 to go.
52:10The Magic with the basketball.
52:16Everybody here is on their feet
52:19at Little Caesars Arena.
52:28Suggs to toss it in.
52:33The jumper by Bain is no good.
52:40And a foul is called
52:41with Green going down.
52:44It's Carter.
52:46Yep.
52:48And there.
52:50Detroit wanted him to look at it
52:52on a play green.
52:55So Carter just got in the way
52:57of Green to free up Bain.
52:59It's an illegal screen.
53:01A very good call.
53:03And I think Carter did a good job
53:05there on the screen.
53:06It's very rare that the referees
53:08will call an illegal screen
53:09this late in the game.
53:11And that is the
53:15fifth foul
53:16on Carter.
53:1930 seconds left.
53:21Try to get one trap maybe.
53:25Robinson
53:25get it in.
53:27Harris now.
53:29Six second difference
53:30shot clocked again.
53:31Clock Harris fights through
53:32the double team.
53:33And a foul is called
53:34with 22.9.
53:36And Harris going to the
53:38free throw line.
53:39Great job by Harris there
53:41being strong with the ball
53:43and stepping through.
53:45And now you've got a great
53:46free throw shooter at the line.
53:48He had his struggles
53:48obviously in the first half
53:50from the line.
53:54Game six.
53:55If the Pistons hold on
53:57will be Friday night
53:58back in Orlando.
54:0222.9 to play.
54:04Harris sticks it.
54:07The lead is six.
54:12I would not use my timeout now
54:15if I were Jamal Moseley.
54:16You've got time to race it up
54:18the floor.
54:18You may get down to a last
54:20possession where you have to use it.
54:25Harris makes a pair.
54:26We will not use it.
54:28Into the hands of Bancaro.
54:3118 seconds left.
54:33Bancaro pump fake.
54:34Forced to give it up.
54:35Gets it back.
54:36Good defense by Stewart.
54:37Bancaro.
54:38No.
54:39Rebounded by Harris.
54:4010 seconds to go.
54:43Harris gets it across.
54:45They surround him.
54:49And a foul is called
54:51with three seconds on the clock.
54:52No a turnover.
54:54Stepped out of bounds.
54:55But there's no chance now.
54:57Harris was expecting contact.
54:59Bain tosses it in.
55:01Catch made by Suggs.
55:03And that's it.
55:05The Pistons stay alive.
55:08The number one seed
55:09forces a game six
55:12in this first round series
55:13against the eighth seed Orlando.
55:16116 to 109.
55:18The final in game five.
55:24Well going back to game six
55:26both coaches will be trying to figure out
55:30an answer to the stars.
55:33The magic I think it's going to involve
55:35having to double team
55:36and Cade Cunningham more.
55:40Stay tuned.

56:48What did you learn about your team's,
56:51just your strength
56:53and your ability to persevere in this game?
