00:00And good evening everyone from Orlando and game six with the number one seed in the East trailing in the
00:06series facing elimination in game five the Pistons Cade Cunningham put up a franchise record 45 to get the win
00:15for the magic Paulo Banqueiro did not blink scoring 45 as well and they will try to close out this
00:24series again tonight and pull off one of the biggest upsets
00:29in NBA playoff history
00:38welcome to NBA on prime tip-off the number one seed Detroit Pistons managed to ward off elimination and force
00:48a game six tonight against the number eight seed Orlando Magic
00:57it is great to have you with us tonight Kevin Harlan Jim Jackson will check in with our reporter Ali
01:03Clifton in just one second what a game five we saw with those two great scores but the sense of
01:10disparity the sense that you got to get something done heightens I think the occasion two players stepped up big
01:15time for the moment teams play well extremely physical see nothing less this evening let's begin with
01:21Cade Cunningham and our postseason upgrade is presented by Wingstop it was one of those games Kevin where Cade Cunningham
01:28was able to do a little bit of everything the offense opened up for him and it wasn't just
01:32one thing that really worked for him it was a combination of one getting out in transition to get into
01:38the free throw line and then identifying
01:41mismatches in half court you can do that when you flow into the pick and roll this time Cain is
01:45going to go under the screen right now
01:47Cade Cunningham not known to be a three-point shooter able to make him pay five for eight from behind
01:51our again middle pick and roll why is that important it's harder to double team now Cade can get downhill
01:57even versus three Orlando defenders guess what shoots right over the top now identify where the mismatch is at try
02:03to get Bane in these cross matches and now get downhill use that big body saw several occasions where Cade
02:10Cunningham just able to shoot over the top and then on the other side Bankuro was just as effective he
02:16really was
02:17and I don't think when Paolo really doesn't settle for jump shot uses that big body and athleticism to get
02:23to the basket he's a different player also stretching the court with his three-point shots opened up his offense
02:28and moments ago our Allie Clifton caught up with the prolific scoring Paolo Bancaro
02:36thanks so much Kevin Paolo for yourself coming off a brilliant game five performance in terms of your play tonight
02:42the dominance and the effectiveness how do you run it back just 48 hours later
02:47just continue to be aggressive you know throughout the game you know trying to be in control you know whether
02:52it's playmaking or scoring and just you know being a leader out there so you know it's a big game
02:57but I know I got to bring my best
02:58they often say closeout games are the hardest to win what's the biggest point of emphasis for you guys as
03:03a team
03:04just to come in here and do what we do you know defend at a high level feed off the
03:08crowds energy and you know like you said it's gonna be a 48 minute fight so you know you don't
03:13expect them to lay down we're gonna have to go and take the game
03:15speaking of the crowd energy what are you anticipating from your fans
03:18I'm anticipating it to be you know louder than I've ever seen it you know this is a hell of
03:23an environment coming in game six with a chance to close it out so I'm excited just to get in
03:27front of the fans and for us to feed off them

04:29show we're seeing these two guys
04:31he's gotta go do it himself
04:33be the noise
04:43thrilled to have you tonight here in Florida
04:46welcome to NBA playoffs presented by Google with first round coverage on Prime presented by Lily
04:54beautiful day outside
04:56it is rocking inside excited for this one
05:00Jim Jackson the home record under Jamal Mosley for the magic is eight and one in the postseason including
05:06play in and playoffs over the last three years
05:10well it's a reason why they've been so successful
05:12the physicality inside it's gonna be a little bit different in game two without Franz Wagner
05:17it's going to be a challenge against this Piston team
05:20let's get the lineups now for the 60 win number one seed Detroit Pistons
05:25Jalen Duren is coming off his best game of the series
05:29way is and look for Jalen to get some early touches the last two games game four and five
05:35they kind of try to go to him early because you want him to be able to see it go
05:38in often and early
05:39and the magic again without Franz Wagner that is the second leading score out with the calf
05:45and Jamal Cain will take his place again Jamal but I do believe Jalen Suggs may be the key
05:51the linchpin here to the victory for Orlando if they want to get out of here and advance to the
05:57next round
06:01our officials tonight one of the best in the business the crew chief is Zach Zarba his 23rd season
06:06the referee Sean Wright his 21st our umpire Jason Goebel his 10th the alternate Mark Lindsey
06:14Marek Kogut along with Natalie Sanko in the replay center busy night of the NBA three playoff games going on
06:23and here we go the magic and the Pistons game six with another must win game for Detroit
06:33they trailed three games to one then won that terrific game five setting up tonight game six and away we
06:41go
06:42it's Cunningham with it and Bancaro on him at the first quarter has kind of been the indicator
06:48on both sides of the ball of which team
06:51leaves the night with the victory
06:53Duncan Robinson knocked away
06:55Bancaro has it deflected the other end of the floor
06:58it will be the Pistons ball and Jamal Mosley
07:03like we said at home last three years postseason eight in one record and it hasn't been easy
07:08it's been some rocky times within that but yet his message has remained clear and almost another turnover
07:15and the shot clock down to 1.5 now
07:19you want to try to get this ball as close to half court Kevin as you can to get a
07:24prime time look
07:26at a shot
07:28it's the baseball pass it's intercepted on the play
07:33Kane got it
07:34and Wendell Carter has it
07:38and here's Bancaro
07:40defended by Cunningham takes it in
07:43there's a foul it's called on Cade Cunningham number one
07:47the coach of the Pistons J.B. Bickerstaff has taken his team to a 60 win season
07:54and this is a team who was over and under at the beginning of the year I believe was 46
07:59games to win
08:00and things kind of came together
08:03they imparted a system of physicality dominating the pain and as a result 61 wins
08:09it's good to see the first one falling for Bancaro because free throw shooting was a problem in game five
08:14for the Magic
08:15and Bancaro
08:17normally reliable only 7 of 12 Jim from the line in game five
08:21well that can be mental too for a player
08:23and what I mean by that is that they won't
08:25continue to attack to Payton knowing that they're going to get fouled
08:28I don't think that's the case for Bancaro
08:31here's the drive
08:33Carter takes it in
08:34Durham is on him
08:35Suggs gets a wild pass and a fade away
08:39it's a rebound by Durham
08:41it's out to Tobias Harris coming off
08:43his terrific 23 point performance in game five
08:47and Harris is going to follow on Suggs
08:49and Harris has just been
08:51kind of that conduit of being solid
08:54a player that you can count on
08:56to not only give you the buckets when you need it but some defensive rebounding
09:01a reliable source
09:03veteran leader let's see
09:05if that continues this evening for
09:07the savvy veteran
09:09running him at five threes here is Robinson a fake
09:14and he takes it in
09:16and tapped in by during who is right there on the doorstep
09:19and that's huge for during to be able to see the ball go through and that time not off of
09:23a set play but his activity put him in a position to get an offensive rebound
09:27Desmond Payne three
09:29he's coming off the game
09:30where he hit all kinds of threes
09:33in that game five
09:36and in game four
09:37he had five threes in game three
09:40Desmond Payne had seven
09:44it's coming in
09:45it's coming in
09:45Bain will defend
09:47it's a rebound by Desmond Payne
09:50and that's the matchup that Detroit won at that time
09:54Cunningham not able to make it count
09:56in the corner three
09:58good
09:58put in Jamal Payne
10:02that is a good sign for him
10:04but it's also a good sign that Jalen Suggs was able to rake it take it draw the defense and
10:10then kick it out
10:11right into the shooting pocket
10:13of Jamal Kaye
10:15Pistons coming off a game five
10:17where they scored the most points for them in the series their best shooting game on the move
10:23Cunningham is fouled as he took it down low
10:26but this is a game too because of the physical nature you got to figure out ways to score outside
10:31of your half course that this is Bain
10:32being able to step back because the defense did not gravitate towards him the dribble penetration
10:38secondary brick can you figure out ways Kevin to manufacture some of those
10:43easier baskets to get yourself out of the grind of the half-court cells
10:48you know Jim I want to revisit something you just said minutes ago
10:50you said all of these game first quarter performances
10:56the most physical team the team that hustled the most in the first quarter of the previous five games
11:02won those games
11:03well think about game five in the number of fouls the Pistons were able to pick up Orlando
11:08four early fouls got themselves in the penalty with about two and a half minutes into the game
11:13that set the tone
11:15not only for the players but also the officials
11:18okay so let's keep our eye on that here with Orlando off to a really good start
11:22Bain cuts and feeds Carter
11:25it's a three and a Harris rebound
11:28Tobias in his 15th NBA season
11:31a former Magic player inside got it to go
11:34again in transition secondary break is harder to match up and have back line rotation
11:38if you can beat your opponents down the court that time Harris able to get right to the basket
11:43hard charging in the paint Ben Carroll can't get it
11:47during pickpocketed by Bain
11:49Kane inside the fake and the slam by Carter
11:57a frenzied start
11:59it is but unfortunately for the Pistons
12:01kind of the same story two early turnovers
12:04that time the Magic able to convert
12:06turnovers a big issue with Detroit
12:08the crossover by Cunningham
12:12Harris again slithers and fires
12:16gets chapped up and in
12:17they got it to go
12:20and it was Azar Thompson
12:21who will be credited with the two with a lot of hands up there probing
12:30Robinson is on Bain
12:31there's a whistle
12:34and the foul goes on
12:36Duncan Robinson
12:37picks up number one
12:38well let's go back to Kay Cunningham
12:40the gravitational pull
12:41you got one
12:42two
12:43three
12:44opponents around and that opens it up
12:46for others to be able to attack
12:48and I thought Harris did an excellent job
12:50of not settling for a jump shot
12:53but getting two feet in the vein and finishing once again
12:55that was tipped away
12:56shot clock continues to tick
12:59it's a three
12:59it's a two
13:00and Ben Carroll's gotta
13:01throw one up
13:02and tried to lace it from midcourt
13:03and picked up
13:05by Tobias Harris
13:06the Pistons won
13:07game five
13:08116
13:08109
13:10Harris again aggressively into pain
13:13Suggs trying for the rebound
13:14fighting with Thompson
13:15out of bounds
13:16wins it's Orlando's ball
13:31and Carol spins by Thompson
13:34the Cunningham
13:36the Cunningham
13:37Wow
13:45and Cunningham again
13:48and Carol is in his way
13:51normally it'd be
13:52Franz Wagner
13:53but he's injured and out
13:54three
13:55up and down
13:56by Tobias Harris
13:58and he's been struggling with this three-point shooting in the series
14:01yeah but one thing he's not struggling with Kevin in this game
14:04is assertiveness
14:05right
14:05he's the most assertive piston right now
14:08I think he understands the gravity of the moment
14:10and he's setting the tone
14:12for his teammates
14:14Thompson's on Ben Carroll
14:16caught her picked up by Duren
14:19Ben Carroll will drive and feed
14:21shot clock down to three
14:23poked away
14:24out of bounds
14:25lost it
14:25the Magic
14:26it's Detroit's ball
14:28and a timeout taken
14:30just under seven minutes to go
14:32here in the first quarter
14:33leading three games to two
14:36the Magic
14:37on top
14:38of the Pistons
14:43again
14:43these were the projections
14:45and the wind totals
14:46for each of these teams
14:48and you can see the Pistons
14:50exceeded what people thought
14:51but it's a matter of you got to play the game
14:53I thought this Piston team
14:54really
14:55came together with a solid game plan
14:57dominate the paint
14:59dominate defensively
15:00Orlando because of the injuries
15:02this is a team
15:03they may be an eight seed
15:05but the talent is across the board
15:06it's a reason why
15:07the pundits kind of picked them
15:09to finish near the top of the league
15:10based on that talent
15:12and that position
15:13you know with Desmond Bain
15:15being able to stretch the court
15:17so Cunningham is out
15:19Dana Jenkins comes in
15:21for the first time
15:21and here he has the ball
15:23Thompson up top
15:24Suggs on him
15:26Robinson fires
15:27doing the fake and the flush
15:29and that's one way to loosen up the defense
15:31a beautiful execution coming out
15:33the timeout
15:33Duncan Robinson is going to track the eyes
15:36of the Magic defender that time
15:38able to hit a cutting
15:39Jalen Duren for another easy basket inside
15:42another paint point
15:43Anthony Black has come in for Jamal Cain
15:46for the Magic
15:49it's the Dancing Bancaro
15:51outside for Suggs
15:54Jenkins on him
15:55one to fire
15:56three away
15:57Bancaro can't hit
15:59rebound is harpooned inside
16:01by Duren
16:02he's got three
16:06Tobias Harris
16:09inside again
16:10establishing Duren
16:11with the reverse
16:12pretty play
16:13great pass
16:14a beautiful pass
16:15but what about the seal
16:16inside by Duren
16:17to carve out enough space
16:18to just be able to catch and finish
16:21Pistons on a 7-0 run on
16:24the near side
16:25making a move
16:26foul call
16:27Bancaro was making the step
16:29and here's the
16:30contorted basket by Duren
16:33as Harris
16:33just picked up a foul
16:35for the Pistons
16:36go ahead
16:37Jalen Duren
16:38look
16:38it's three games out of four
16:40he's shot less than eight times
16:42okay
16:42for the season he averaged
16:4411 and a half field goal attempts a game
16:466.1 free throws
16:48in this series
16:49that's
16:49not been the case
16:50all those numbers have been good
16:52now
16:52give
16:53Orlando credit for not allowing
16:56Duren to have those mismatches
16:58but for him
16:59can you run the court
17:00get some easy baskets
17:02get some offensive rebounds
17:04and now you find yourself
17:05in a different kind of rhythm
17:07offensively
17:08Bancaro to the line for the second time
17:10in this game
17:12Harris the rebound and the miss
17:15Davis Jenkins out of St. John's
17:17second year player
17:20got the screen from Duren
17:22tries to work down low
17:24pretty shot
17:25Jenkins heard from
17:26I tell you what
17:28if Jenkins can
17:29find his offense
17:30that leaves a lot of stress off of
17:32Cade Cunningham on the perimeter
17:33hard to the rack
17:35it's Desmond Payne for two
17:43and here's Thompson
17:49Harris has got five
17:51Carter's on him
17:52Robinson
17:54Harris
17:57three no
17:58fouled as he fired
18:00I was about to say Kevin look
18:02really good defensive discipline
18:04by Wendell Carter to stay down on the pump fake but I think it was the reach
18:08right at the end
18:10perfect position
18:11watch that left hand
18:12yep
18:12on the wrist
18:14that's where you have to fight the temptation of doing that force Harris to have to shoot a standstill jump
18:23shot over a stretched out wingspan
18:26number one on Carter Harris at the line Harris has had three consecutive 20 point games 23 in game 5
18:3620 in game 4 and in game 3 23 he stepped up in game 5 and he was huge
18:43for sure you think about that this is he played in 72 playoff games he's averaging about 16.5 points
18:48a game so he's kind of used to the moment especially in the position where he's that third or fourth
18:54option he's able to benefit off of those other players that are tracking all the eyes and right now
19:02Harris has been the catalyst early for the Pistons to kind of shake off that rough start and lead this
19:09game by three with a potential to go up by four
19:11and Carol will check out but Tazi is going to check in Kane comes back in the game for the
19:16magic
19:18they'll take out Duren
19:20and they'll bring in the valuable Isaiah Stewart
19:24he had that game four with a sensational block shot total of eight Stewart did he's in there now
19:31I think it's very important for beef stew to contain some of the emotions in this game because he's his
19:39emotions
19:40are much needed but at times you don't want it to take away from picking up a foul a technical
19:45foul whatever it is from the momentum of the Pistons
19:50Javon Carter has checked in for the first time for the magic and again no Franz Wagner tonight valuable part
19:57of the magic team
19:59here comes black
20:01he had 19 up in Detroit in game five
20:07the crafty Bane
20:09it's picked up inside
20:11grab by Orlando
20:12grab by Bane
20:14they'll reset
20:15Bataze
20:16and Stewart is on him
20:18shot clock is down to five
20:21Anthony Black
20:22it's Carter on top
20:24watch the ball
20:25the defense there
20:26great defense by Detroit
20:28yeah that time
20:29Orlando able to scrape up another offensive rebound but the solid defense by the Pistons
20:34didn't allow the magic
20:36to be able to get a shot up
20:40magic have won the last two games played here in Florida
20:47it's Cunningham
20:49who's increased his scoring in the postseason from the regular season
20:53with Thompson chiseling his way in met by Bane
20:57and the shot clock at five
20:59Harris on the move
21:00tried to go up
21:01defended well
21:08it's Carter
21:10and black
21:11screen Bataze
21:12Carter
21:13thinking three maneuvers for two
21:18you know sometimes we go talk to coaches and they give us coach beat
21:23but Jamal Mosley said
21:25Carter's gonna get some playing time because I can trust him
21:28he's been there his playoff performances
21:31solidified itself and that's a big shot for him to come in
21:33off the bench
21:34Robinson can't hit
21:35Carter's only played a couple minutes in this series
21:38here's black
21:39he's open
21:40found some room
21:42the defense backed off
21:43he took advantage of it
21:44three and a half to go in the first
21:46yeah but that's why you advance the ball Kevin up the court quick
21:48to kind of explore
21:49what you may have as an opportunity to score in a time
21:53but I did just that
21:58it's Thompson
22:00knifing his way down low
22:02out to Robinson
22:03here's a three
22:04cut
22:06Duncan Robinson had three threes in game five
22:08knocks in his
22:09first
22:10three tonight
22:11I know they may go at Duncan defensively
22:14but I tell you what
22:14he makes up for it when he starts to knock down some shots from deep
22:18Jamal Kane another three
22:21rebound Bataze
22:22swarmed inside defensively
22:25it will be off
22:27Orlando but they may change it
22:29yep it is going to be off the Pistons
22:32it will be Orlando's ball
22:34timeout when we come back
22:362.50 in the first in this game six on prime
22:43welcome back to Orlando
22:45Pistons with a two point lead over the Magic
22:47as the Magic look to close out the series here tonight
22:49chasing what would be their first playoff series win in 16 years
22:52if they're able to do just that
22:54it would be just the seventh time a number eight seed would advance past the first round
22:58Jamal Mosley saying there is urgency to take care of home but says they have to be smart about their
23:03approach
23:03that approach not going for the home run play rather consistently hitting singles all night
23:08Kevin that means locking in on box outs free throws execution getting back to protect the paint
23:13he said that they take care of those little things in front of this sold out crowd the Magic
23:17they can accomplish guys what very few eight seeds ever have advanced to the next round
23:22you're right Allie and it's the margins which have been a story here is
23:26De Silva in the game that is off the fingertips of Karis Levert
23:30so substitutes coming in for both teams right now
23:33we'll check that in a second with nine to shoot here Jim
23:36and it's a great report by Allie because the team that has dominated the offensive glass
23:40won the battle possessions in the free throw line
23:43except for game one has came off from the free throw line and with a victory
23:48De Silva he'll take this and hit over Kay Cunningham
23:52De Silva started 35 games in the regular season when Wagner was out
23:58so Orlando's got eight field goals on eight assists from six different guys
24:03De Silva's minutes have gone down only 16 minutes per game in this series
24:07you see Kay coming in
24:08I tell you what he's like Paulo you hit that shot you don't panic right away
24:13you kind of inch out but he starts to get hot
24:16you kind of want to run him off the line at that time making
24:19making him
24:20Orlando pay again
24:21De Silva takes it in hard
24:23Matt Stewart
24:24and it's out of bounds and it's off Orlando
24:29and the Pistons will come the other way as they trail on this series
24:32three games to two
24:35so the Pistons haven't won a playoff series since 2008
24:40Magic haven't advanced by the first round in 16 years
24:43the three no
24:44the Suggs rebound
24:45Magic the other way
24:47under two to go in the first

25:12nice stroke outside
25:14Dana's Jenkins puts in the triple
25:16are you talking about having
25:18kind of a sense of relief off your back for Jenkins
25:21Jenkins to be able to knock that in
25:230 for 5
25:24in the last game of game 5
25:26from behind the 3 point line
25:29Dancaro

26:09exquisitely able to get the block
26:10in a night to break
26:12Black maybe should have threw that up
26:14or allow Suggs to clear
26:15but luckily for Orlando
26:17able to retain possession
26:19half minute to go
26:20here in the first

27:51low scoring
27:52and just critty basketball
27:54it has been all business
27:56it has been
27:57and it's tougher for the officiating crew
27:59because of that
28:00keep your eye also
28:02on a lot of fouls

28:04because that's where
28:06officials want to clean

28:11they got Stuart
28:12on Bancaro
28:14LeVert
28:15resigned strikes
28:16Bancaro
28:17a 15 footer is pure
28:18the middle of the
28:20road is tough to defend
28:22in that time
28:23Bancaro
28:23no hesitation
28:24receiving that pocket pass
28:26I love the play
28:27coming out the timeout
28:28by coach Moses
28:29or the Pistons
28:30ball reading for the first time
28:31here's Cunningham
28:33and Duncan
28:35and Reid in the corner
28:36a reliable backup center
28:38De Silva's got the rebound
28:40Orlando
28:41has had eight different players
28:43that have scored
28:44and they've got 10 assists
28:46on 10 field goals
28:47now 11 for 11
28:49in that category
28:52barreling down that baseline
28:54may have black
28:54in the corner
28:55sugs three
28:57knocked out by Stuart
28:58right back to Bancaro
28:59Robinson will meet him
29:01to Silva
29:02the fake
29:03the drive
29:04he'll go in the paint
29:05with a floater on the fly
29:06for the deuce
29:07and that's the third
29:08offensive rebound
29:09now by Orlando
29:10but the first they've been
29:11able to take advantage of
29:12now that time
29:12Stewart tried to kick it out
29:14and get it to one of his
29:15teammates but it landed
29:16in the hand
29:17of Bancaro
29:21it's the third
29:22he'll uncork from three
29:24rebound
29:25nicely
29:25snared there
29:27by Reid
29:27cross court
29:29Duncan
29:29sets
29:30fires three
29:31no
29:32rebound
29:32Reid
29:33but he got it right out
29:34and Orlando's got it to Silva
29:36in the hands of
29:37Paolo Bancaro
29:38but your
29:39pistons the last three shots
29:40have been behind the three-point line
29:42I know Duncan Robinson his was a lot pure
29:44but you don't want to buy into
29:48getting away from who you are as a team
29:50those shots are open you take them no doubt
29:52but you still want to continue to put pressure
29:54on this magic defense
29:56force them to have to collapse here to make it a lot easier
29:59to get those wide open spot up threes
30:02Duncan Robinson just picked up his second personal foul
30:09and here we go with Bancaro
30:11Stewart will defend
30:12he'll make a move
30:14barreling his way into the paint
30:16he'll put up that short range shot
30:18rebound
30:19inside
30:21uncorking
30:22Bataze
30:22somehow
30:24someway
30:24got it to go
30:25and it ain't nothing
30:26run for the magic
30:29oh good find Reid
30:31now they quickly clamp on him
30:34Bataze slapping at the ball
30:35Orlando foul
30:37as we're just a little more than two minutes
30:40into the second quarter
30:41Bataze able to get inside of
30:45Reid this time and gather
30:46catch
30:48use the glass
30:49and finish inside
30:50and here's a physical foul
30:51not allowing
30:52Reid to get this shot up
30:55I'm not mad at it at all
30:57that time arms came down
30:59Bataze picks up number one
31:03it's back to Robinson now
31:05Cade Cunningham
31:06fifth year player
31:07Oklahoma State
31:08high school
31:09basketball
31:10here in Florida
31:11tries inside
31:12a lot of contact
31:13rebound Reid
31:14he's coming and made an imprint
31:15little shot will rattle in for him
31:17Cunningham got away with a push too
31:20that shot went up
31:20he pushed Bataze inside
31:22the officials could have easily caught it
31:24but they kind of let it go
31:29they're gonna reset the shot clock at the other end
31:32which now they do
31:34in this series Jim Jackson
31:35we've had the fewest combined points
31:38in a total situation
31:40the lowest combined shooting percentage
31:43but it's not been for the faint of heart
31:45I mean this has been a grisly series
31:48but it's old school basketball with a little new school flair
31:51so to speak
31:53Black three
31:55Bataze again
31:57vacuums it in
31:58and puts it down
31:59here we go
32:00old school basketball
32:01which is controlling the paint
32:02that time another offensive rebound
32:05off an errant shot
32:06Bataze able to use that big body
32:08and that size
32:10at 6'10
32:12to fill up the bucket once again
32:13Bataze six points and five rebounds
32:16here's Cunningham
32:18he'll go into Van Carroll
32:19the two former number one overall picks
32:21Bataze had a hand on it
32:23Suggs will take it in
32:25whistle on the play
32:26foul called on the Pistons
32:31it may have been on Reed
32:34and it was number one
32:37well the advantage with Orlando is this
32:39when you get those switches
32:42outside of Desmond Bain on Cunningham
32:44you have size
32:46you may not stop Cade Cunningham all the time
32:49but what you want to do is make him less efficient
32:52that's why
32:53not just having Franz Wagner in the lineup for offense is critical
32:56it's his switchability at 6'10 to not only guard Cunningham
33:01but if he gets switched on Duren inside the post
33:04Stewart and Reed check out
33:05Duren is back in with Tobias Harris
33:08Suggs driving hard into the paint
33:11it's a rebound collected by Jalen Duren
33:15Detroit coming the other way
33:17they've missed seven of the last eight shots
33:19Harris back in
33:20he was off to a good start including a three
33:23driving on Wendell Carter
33:25rebound Duren
33:26no
33:26cleaned it up
33:27Suggs the rebound
33:32flying down court
33:34Black
33:34wow
33:37Anthony Black
33:45the change of pace with this second lineup
33:48this is what Black can do for you
33:50which is get down the court
33:52receive the pass
33:53identify where the opening opening is that
33:56that's one dribble
33:57Kevin to get to the basket
33:59play with pace
34:00but you can't do that
34:02if you don't get defensive stops and defensive rebound
34:06Duren picked up the foul number one
34:08Black at the line
34:09off the bench with the playoff career high in 19
34:12in game five a couple nights ago
34:14he did start about half the games this season
34:17mainly because of the injuries to Franz Wagner
34:20and he'll douse that one
34:22it's a 13-2 magic run
34:25they've got their biggest lead in this game six
34:28if they win they win the series
34:30facing elimination Detroit
34:32the number one seed in the east
34:34on a 60 win season
34:36Duren twirls and goes in
34:38clamped rebound collected inside
34:41Bancaro
34:44step back three
34:46Bancaro
34:46no
34:47it was a Duren touch
34:49Robinson fetched it
34:51and a whistle
34:53is it a
34:54jump ball
34:55there it is
34:57I tell you what the group would have went off this building
34:59if Bancaro hit that three-point shot
35:01the crowd stood up
35:07Duncan Robinson
35:10not allowing the ball to get wedged away with Wendell Carter
35:17so Wendell Carter
35:19real jump against Duncan Robinson
35:22he began in a division three
35:24Robinson did division three school
35:26then went to the University of Michigan
35:28eventually worked his way to a final four
35:31a nice career a big contract with Miami
35:33now a piston
35:34and I got a chance to cover him his career at Michigan
35:37and how he's grown so much as a player
35:39and you saw that same progression
35:42once he got to the NBA
35:46timeout Detroit as
35:48Desmond Bain
35:49goes inside hard
35:53it's a 15 to 2
35:55run by the Magic
35:56these are the NBA playoffs on Prime
36:02he's entered the arena in downtown Houston
36:04LeBron James
36:05and the Lakers trying to close that series with the Rockets
36:08leading three games to 2
36:10Austin Reeves
36:11is coming back and rejoining the team
36:14James will be ready to go
36:16and don't
36:17and so here we go
36:19with a 10-point Orlando lead
36:22Orlando is 10-0
36:25points in the paint
36:27over the Pistons
36:29the Pistons
36:30were the number one team
36:31in the regular season
36:33with points in the paint
36:35but so far
36:36with Orlando scoring in the lane
36:40shot clock at 5
36:42Paris over Bancaro
36:44short nice defense by Paulo
36:46but the defense has tightened its screws a little bit in the second quarter
36:50right now the Pistons are 1 for 10
36:52you talk about in the paint
36:53not conventional post-ups for the Magic
36:56but in transition
36:57second shots
36:58drive to the basket
36:59drop-offs
37:00that's how you're able to dominate inside
37:02Orlando's on a 15 to 2 run
37:04pickpocketed and then
37:06retrieved by Suggs
37:08he'll trudge his way to a position
37:10and fire a 3
37:11that is right over Harris
37:13it's an 18 to 2 Orlando run
37:23Pistons
37:24Pistons have missed 11 of the last 12
37:25and that's a nice shot by Cunningham
37:27had to maneuver and steer his way for his 6 points
37:31but the challenge you have when you're the Pistons is that
37:33who else can really create off the dribble for you
37:35like this for Orlando
37:38that's my goodness
37:39like Minnesota you just got guys that come at you that can beat you off the dribble
37:43and the challenge with the Pistons like I said
37:47you don't have the plethora of guys
37:49that can return that favor
37:513
37:52Harris
37:52no
37:53rebound
37:54subs
37:54each team shooting 50%
37:57the Pistons have missed 12 of their last 13
38:01outside
38:02it's a 3
38:03good
38:06how about Carter

38:55Well, let's go back. The three ball has loosened up because you're dominating in the paint.
38:59You said this. 18 paint points early.
39:01It's going to force the defense to kind of back up a little bit.
39:04Bane able to get it, but then you get a paint touch inside.
39:08Because you've been successful, you score, attract the man.
39:11Of course, you're going to allow Wendell Carter to shoot that, but that's not able to knock it in.
39:16Errant pass looking for Kane.
39:19It'll bounce out of bounds.
39:20By the way, the bench of Orlando, 20-7 outscoring the bench of the Pistons.
39:26When you have versatility offensively, when you have players that can create not just their own offense,
39:32but offense for their teammates, and then beat you off the dribble,
39:35he caused a lot of problems.
39:37The reason why this team was picked highly at the beginning of the season,
39:41because of his offensive versatility.
39:44Jamal Kane just picked up his second personal foul.
39:49Clock at 519.
39:51Each team shooting at least 50% in the first quarter.
39:58Orlando at 56 for the game, down to 40% for the Pistons.
40:03It's Cunningham for two.
40:06Thompson, the rebound offensively.
40:08Cunningham again.
40:09Bencaro in his way, and he drives with the left-handed two.
40:12I love it.
40:13Drive that blows out.
40:14Cunningham using that big body.
40:16But the Pistons able to benefit that time off their own offensive rebound.
40:20Oh, look at that move by Suggs inside the collision into Robinson.
40:25He had the crossover.
40:27He had the open lane.
40:29And he bullied his way inside, and a foul called on Robinson.
40:32But how quickly did the ball get off the court after the Pistons were able to score?
40:39So, the drive was presented because the back line of the defense wasn't in place because of that quick push,
40:46despite giving up the basket to Cade Cunningham.
40:49Suggs is at the line.
40:54Suggs with three so far.
40:57First trip tonight to the stripe.
40:59Let's take a look at the upcoming playoff schedule tomorrow on NBC Game 7.
41:04It's the 76ers and the Celtics.
41:09There was another team scheduled to do that, by the way.
41:12That would have been us.
41:13For more on these games, go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
41:19But with Minnesota beating Denver, that kind of changed the landscape with Suggs at the line.
41:27And he gets the back end.
41:29I mean, how about that Philadelphia team kind of holding down the fort
41:33until Embiid was able to reenter the lineup.
41:36And I tell you, they're playing with so much confidence against that Boston team
41:40and his hit or miss with Boston with their three-point shooting.
41:44Bunch of substitutions in here now for the Pistons.
41:47Green is in.
41:48Jenkins back in.
41:49Black has come back in for the Magic.
41:52Robinson is left.
41:54Cunningham is left.
41:55Bankero is on the bench.
41:57And they go back to Tristan Da Silva.
41:59He'll replace Suggs.
42:01As each coach trying to give some breathing space for their starters.
42:07And what has been a raucous affair so far, Jenkins hasn't.
42:12Critical next couple of minutes for this second unit for Detroit
42:15to kind of get something going to see if they can cut into this lead
42:18before their starters kind of reentered a game.
42:21It's Harris.
42:23And defended down low.
42:25Black couldn't stop Tobias Harris from putting in his tenth point of the game.
42:31So Bain's got 10.
42:32Harris has 10.
42:34Top scores each way.
42:36It's black.
42:39And the defense of Javante Green there.
42:42Bain.
42:43Jenkins on him.
42:44Screen.
42:45Carter.
42:45That's a foul on Carter.
42:46That was a bad one, too.
42:47Leaned into him.
42:48He didn't have to.
42:49He didn't have to.
42:49That's all right.
42:49Bain cleared enough space to kind of get the matchup he wanted.
42:53But Dale Carter really did not have to commit this fight.
42:56Just stay right there.
42:57That big body is going to force Jenkins to have to get over the top.
43:01As soon as he shifted that weight to his right,
43:04it was an easy call for the official.
43:05Two on Carter.
43:09It's Jenkins.
43:16Houston shooting 43%.
43:19Duran on top.
43:21Jenkins with the ball.
43:22Screen is set.
43:23Long three.
43:24No.
43:25It's rebounded inside and grabbed by Kane.
43:28Starting for the injured.
43:30Farns Wagner.
43:31Bain.
43:39Orlando shooting 56%.
43:42Bain driving hard.
43:45Rebound tapped.
43:47And saved by De Silva.
43:54Rondo Carter the handoff.
43:57It's Bain with the three.
44:06Desmond Bain has hit three of three from outside and in tight.
44:12Nice shot by Thompson.
44:14Pulled the trigger.
44:15Yeah, but once again, it's that offensive rebound.
44:18And one of the best shots off on offensive rebound is to spray it out
44:21and see if you can get a three-point shot.
44:23Bain did just that.
44:25Here's Bain and tethered to him.
44:28Wilby Thompson sets up with a long fadeaway two.
44:37Two and a half to go on the half.
44:40Azar Thompson.
44:42Jalen Duran.
44:44Tobias Harris.
44:45There is a whistle and a foul on Detroit.
44:49It's on Jenkins who picks up the foul.
44:51Coming off the bench.
44:52Setting the screen.
44:54Picks up his first.
44:55Bain with the nice stroke.
44:57Letting it rip from three.
44:59All a part of the 54-38 lead for Orlando.
45:06Here's a live update presented by FanDuel.
45:10Point spread minus ten and a half.
45:12Over, under.
45:14205.5.
45:15Orlando plus nine points from three.
45:18Plus six rebounds and shooting 57% from the floor.
45:23Despite the loss of last game in Detroit,
45:25I think Orlando found their rhythm.
45:27Shot 44% from behind the three.
45:29And that has continued this evening.
45:31The early shooting, because of controlling the paint,
45:34opens up opportunities to get good looks.
45:36Right now it's seven for 16.
45:38And with that combination,
45:40here Detroiters got,
45:41what do we take away?
45:42We've got to protect the paint,
45:44but yet we've got to get out to shooters.
45:46It's going to be interesting to see
45:47what that adjustment is going to be like
45:49as we finish this half and begin the second.
45:51Cunningham has scored eight.
45:53Bancaro has scored four.
45:55Both coming off 45-point game fives.
45:59It's Bancaro and Tobias Harris
46:01is there, slicing into the paint.
46:11It's Thompson, Dern, and Tobias Harris.
46:16Green is on the floor
46:17with Kate Cunningham.
46:19That's the Piston five.
46:21Under two to go.
46:23Aaron pass, saved, and Thompson resets.
46:26Shot clock at three.
46:28Shuffles his way just beneath the line.
46:30Harris in the corner.
46:31It's a three.
46:32Black with the Orlando rebound.
46:35I know it doesn't seem like a lot, Kevin,
46:38but when it's through, Thompson's out top.
46:40And that ball gets kicked out.
46:41Because he's a non-shooter,
46:43it takes away an open opportunity to shoot.
46:45You end up near the end of the shot clock
46:47because of his reluctancy.
46:49Bancaro over going.
46:51It's a two,
46:52and it's the biggest lead for the Magic.
46:5520-point advantage.
46:56They win.
46:57They get the series.
46:58There's an eight seed over the number one.
47:00Thompson banging in the bodies,
47:03careening for the shot.
47:04Rebound yanked down by Bancaro.
47:06And the Magic 60 shooting 68%
47:09in this quarter alone.
47:12Bancaro driving
47:14and playing bumper pool inside.
47:16Hit the deck.
47:17Body on body.
47:18Foul called.
47:19It goes on the Pistons.
47:21Well, shot discernment is huge.
47:24Category for me with Bancaro.
47:26When to shoot the three, when not.
47:28When to get to the basket.
47:29When to pull up with that 15-foot jump shot.
47:31It's a matter of reading the defense.
47:33Not like he hasn't seen it before.
47:35But when he controls that narrative,
47:37it makes it virtually impossible
47:39when he's on his game
47:41to stop that young man.
47:43Tobias Harris picked up his second.
47:46Bancaro with the line.
47:49Two of four after five of 12
47:52in game five
47:53at the free throw line.
47:56And he got it.
47:57Stay tuned for the half.
47:58Presented by AT&T.
48:01They'll look at the first half here.
48:03Give you a look
48:04at the Cavs and Raptors up in Toronto.
48:08And get you set
48:09for the nightcap.
48:10Houston hosting the Lakers.
48:16The Magic trying to become the seventh number eight seed
48:20to beat a one seed in NBA playoff history.
48:26Orlando's on an 8-0 run.
48:28And the last six, Jim, by Bancaro.
48:34They blitzed Cunningham, who takes the fadeaway, rebound inside.
48:42Out of bounds, Dern.
48:43And they swarmed on Jalen Dern as he received the pass.
48:48Now, Coach Bickenstaff wants a foul on the reach down.
48:52But let's take a look here.
48:54Scrambling from the ball.
48:55There's three defenders around.
48:56As he steps back, he's right.
48:57He's out of bounds.
48:58It's an easy call.
49:00Three-point shooting.
49:02Seven threes.
49:06For the Magic.
49:08Four so far for the Pistons.
49:11Bancaro.
49:12The stutter step.
49:14The three.
49:15Short.
49:16It's caught by Asar Thompson.
49:19Orlando's got a foul to get pickpocketed by Suggs.
49:23It'll be Detroit's ball.
49:24But it's the hustle that time.
49:26Asar Thompson that time did not see Suggs.
49:28And Suggs, with his infectious energy, able to pluck it away.
49:36Duncan Robbins is going to check back in.
49:39Man, watch him here.
49:40Just not giving up on the play.
49:41Good help by Bancaro, who you really don't want him to have to reach
49:45and compromise your defense in transition.
49:48But by doing that, that allowed Suggs to gain control over it.
49:53But Zach Zavre, the official, said that size 12 with 13,
49:58got a piece of the ball.
50:04There's a difference of eight seconds.
50:06Eight and a half seconds.
50:07Game clock and shot clock.
50:09It's Cunningham.
50:11And he's picked up by Black.
50:13And there's a whistle.
50:15It goes on Bane of Orlando.
50:18Number one on Desmond.
50:20I'll tell you what.
50:22Cade Cunningham, he's getting his money's worth.
50:24He has to do it.
50:25I mean, not that he hasn't been doing it all season,
50:27but against this Magic team, you kind of have to find,
50:31offensively, somebody else who initiates them offense,
50:33creates them offense.
50:34It just can't be all Cade Cunningham.
50:37It's Harris trying to get a hold of a wild inbound pass from Robinson.
50:43He throws it away.
50:44That's the sixth turnover by the Pistons.
50:49Magic with four.
50:51A disgruntled J.B. Bickerstaff.
50:53And his number one seeded team down by 22 as we near halftime.
51:01Final 14 seconds of the first half.
51:05It's a closeout game for Orlando.
51:08On the crowd to their feet.
51:10Bancaro sizing him up.
51:12Harris in the way.
51:13Clock at two.
51:15Outside.
51:16Bane the fake.
51:17A three.
51:17No.
51:18Halftime is here.
51:20And a 22-point Magic lead at the half.
51:25You couldn't script it any better if you're the Magic.
51:28Crowd is involved, but you stuck to your game plan.
51:31You're dominating the ping.
51:32You're able to knock down some shots.
51:36It was Detroit's lowest scoring quarter all season.
51:40They only had 12.
51:41As they were outscored, 35-12 by Orlando in the second.
51:47So, we've got Bancaro with 10.
51:50Cunningham with 8.

52:22We welcome you back to the NBA playoffs presented by Google.
52:26Here in Orlando with first-round coverage on Prime.
52:29Presented by Lilly.
52:32With Jim Jackson, Allie Clifton on our sideline.
52:35Kevin Harlan, we thank you for joining us tonight.
52:37How in the world did Orlando crowbar this game open and get this kind of late at the half?
52:44It's, I went back to this.
52:46The three-point shooting in game five, I thought, gave life to this Orlando team.
52:51Despite losing, they saw the ball go in and off it.
52:54But you have to start by some gut punches.
52:56This is getting the ball deep in the paint, forcing the defense to collapse, and then you kick it back
53:01out.
53:01But in transition, secondary break.
53:03Okay, the Pistons are going to pack in the paint, so now you have to make them pay.
53:08And the passes have to be on time, on target.
53:11Desmond Bain able to come off around the screen and get it up over Jenkins.
53:15But I truly believe right now, Kevin, the 20 points in the paint allowed the three-point shooting to be
53:22a viable option.
53:24Bain had 10 in the second quarter.
53:26That was our encouraging movement presented by Lilly.
53:29Moments ago, Allie Clifton caught up with Desmond Bain.
53:35Thanks so much, Kevin.
53:36Des, you led all scorers with an efficient 15.
53:38How were you able to set the tone with your offense?
53:40Just being aggressive.
53:42Mo Wagner, he's been in my ear about, you know, staying aggressive.
53:46You know, missing Franz, obviously, another playmaker.
53:49So, you know, somebody has to step up for us.
53:51You guys put on a defensive clinic there in the second quarter.
53:54You're 24 minutes away from closing this thing out.
53:56What's the message?
53:58Keep guarding.
53:59Everything for us starts on the defensive end.
54:01And we hold them to another 40-point half.
54:03Feel confident we'll get the job done.
54:05Appreciate the time.
54:06Kevin.
54:07Allie thanks.
54:08The Orlando Magic shot 62% in the second quarter.
54:12They went 4 of 9 from 3, 5 of 5 from the line.
