00:00J.B. Bickerstaff said the messaging is pretty simple.
00:03Go out, win this game, worry about the next game,
00:07but you have to take care of business here.
00:10Meanwhile, Jamal Mosley, he understands the work is not done for the Magic,
00:15but they are on the brink of getting a playoff series win.
00:25Sixth time, an eight seed has held a 3-1 lead on a one seed.
00:30You go back to 2003, the Magic led Detroit 3-1 and lost that series,
00:34so there is precedent.
00:36There is, and there's precedent between these two teams.
00:40Our officiating crew tonight, John Goebel, Curtis Blair, Kevin Cutler,
00:45Pistons have to get a win to prolong this series.
00:49Orlando is trying to wrap things up tonight in enemy territory.
00:56It'll be Carter and Duren to jump it up.
01:00And we're underway in Game 5 in Motown.
01:04Pistons control the tip.
01:05I was surprised with the officiating crew.
01:07I thought they'd go away from NBA reps and get some MMA guys in here.
01:12It has been physical.
01:13You're right.
01:15Duren, a back-in on Carter.
01:17Duren turns and scores, plus the foul.
01:21Wow, that's a big-time start for Jalen Duren,
01:24who's averaged under 10 a game here in this series.
01:28Plus, to get the early foul on Wendell Carter Jr.,
01:32who led the NBA in personal fouls this year,
01:35he has been key for the Magic.
01:37If you put him in foul trouble, major problem.
01:40Carter has two double-doubles the games held in Orlando.
01:46Jalen Duren, the drop-off has been significant in terms of sheer numbers.
01:52That's nearly 10 points per game difference between regular season and postseason,
01:57but it gets the scoring started with a three-point play.
02:00Well, I give J.B. Bickerstaff a lot of credit.
02:02He knows the guy's been struggling.
02:04He runs his first play for him and gets him a chance.
02:09Paolo Banquero for two, in and out.
02:12And it's rebounded by Thompson.
02:16Gets picked up by Suggs, screened from Duren.
02:19That means Banquero is now there defensively with Thompson.
02:23The former Magic, Tobias Harris.
02:27Body bump, nearly gets it to go.
02:29He is headed to the free-throw line.
02:31Well, Tobias Harris, much more comfortable going to his left hand.
02:35It's gotten better going right.
02:36In this series, it's been tough for him.
02:40He shot 57% on twos, but only 14% on threes.
02:47Pistons have not won a playoff series since 2008.
02:51Orlando, it's 2010.
02:54These are long droughts for these two franchises.
02:56Yeah, I was part of both of their last series wins.
02:592008, the Pistons beat my Orlando team.
03:03I don't remember that one pleasantly.
03:05And in 2010, my Orlando teams, we actually won the first two rounds before losing in the conference finals to
03:12Boston.
03:13Both these fan bases are fantastic.
03:15I love them both.
03:16And they've both been waiting a long time.
03:19Harris, big finish!
03:22Two missed free throws, and they turn it into two points on the board after the offensive rebound.
03:29That Carroll, one-on-one with Harris.
03:33Goes no look, and Bain gets to the rim for the deuce.
03:37But a nice pass by Bain Carroll.
03:40Jamal Mosley saying they wanted to get in the paint and spray the ball out a little bit.
03:45Detroit had blocked a quarter of Orlando's two-point shots over the last three games.
03:52Drive and kick, Thompson for Robinson.
03:54Draws two.
03:55Cunningham can't hit the three.
03:58And Bain Carroll knocks it over to Suggs, who knocks it back over to Bain Carroll.
04:03Cade Cunningham, the three-pointer, has not been working in the postseason.
04:08Bain missed it from the outside.
04:10Well, Bain was three for 15 from three in the first two games here.
04:14Early offense.
04:16It's a block, but it's a foul.
04:18Pistons also wanted the goaltend.
04:21It maybe should have been.
04:25And it will be Bain picking up the personal.
04:28They just showed it on the big screen.
04:32Yeah, clearly.
04:33Yeah, that's a goaltend.
04:35It hit the backboard.
04:38And then Kane made contact with it.
04:41Yeah, they missed that one.
04:42That one should have counted.
04:45And for the fans wondering, J.B. Bickerstaff cannot challenge that.
04:50Because there was no call made.
04:51That is now three team fouls in the first minute 40 against Orlando.
04:57Well, this is the series that's had the most free throw attempts.
05:0158 a game.
05:02Both these teams get to the line a lot among the best in the league.
05:06Both these teams foul a lot.
05:08Send opponents to the line.
05:09So, get ready to watch a lot of free throws tonight.
05:13Pistons have been the lowest scoring team in the playoffs.
05:16Averaging 98 points per game in the first four games of this series.
05:207-2 lead for Detroit.
05:24Bain with Thompson.
05:26Suggs way outside.
05:2810 to shoot.
05:28Pull a puck.
05:29He doesn't get the roll.
05:31And the rebound is grabbed by Harris.
05:33Well, you don't get anything easy, though.
05:34You see how much people jammed him after the rebound.
05:38Oh, beautiful move by Thompson.
05:39He's fouled.
05:40That's 14 fouls.
05:42We've played two minutes and four seconds.
05:48Jalen Suggs can't believe it.
05:50He wants him to challenge.
05:51Jamal Mosley looking.
05:53Yeah, there's no contact there.
05:55Yeah, they're going to challenge that, I would think.
05:57Yeah, Mosley is checking with the bench.
06:01And Thompson is ready to accept the ball.
06:05Curtis Blair took a peek over there.
06:09Now, part of the calculus there might be early first quarter,
06:13two minutes into the game, and the guy's a 61% free throw shooter.
06:17What are we gaining?
06:19The only viewpoint that you could have on the opposite side, it's 14 fouls.
06:24No, yeah, I probably would have been tempted to challenge it.
06:28I'm just, but there is thinking on the other side.
06:32And Thompson misses them both, but another offensive rebound,
06:35second chance opportunity.
06:37Inexcusable to give up two free throw rebounds already in this game.
06:46And then Cade Cunningham, his first turnover tonight.
06:49He needs to get those down.
06:50He's averaged eight a game over the last three games,
06:52the most anybody's ever committed in a three-game stretch in the playoffs.
06:56If he could cut that in half, it really would bode well for the Pistons.
07:01And Carroll trying to have his way on the inside.
07:03Harris holds up defensively.
07:057-2 Detroit, looking to add to it.
07:08The cutter, Harris.
07:09Stop and go.
07:11Banks it in.
07:12And the foul.
07:14Wow.
07:19We're already at five team fouls,
07:21which means they're shooting for the nine and a half minutes now,
07:26which means Orlando cannot be as physical defensively
07:30as they have wanted to be this entire series.
07:33Detroit finished the season number one in the NBA in points in the paint.
07:37Number one in paint touches.
07:40And there's been a clear focus on trying to get that done early in this opening quarter.
07:46But the free throws are an issue.
07:48Another offensive rebound off a missed free throw.
07:51Come on.
07:53You're Orlando.
07:54You're coming in serious about trying to close a series.
07:57You're going to give up three offensive rebounds on missed free throws.
08:00The steal.
08:01Bain accelerates and lays it in.
08:07Orlando's got to be better on the glass down here.
08:09And Cunningham has just got to be much more solid with the basketball.
08:14This guy was an MVP game today.
08:17Two turnovers for Cunningham in the early going.
08:20Robinson clean look.
08:22Rims out.
08:23And it's in there.
08:25Excuse me on the follow.
08:27They're just going for the rebound.
08:30And the ball pops up and into the basket.
08:33Four offensive rebounds already.
08:36Bain answers with a triple.
08:40So Dern will get credit for the other basket for Detroit.
08:45And Bain's got all of the points for the Magic.
08:49Cunningham.
08:50Body bumped.
08:51And the fade is pure.
08:52Well, so when you think of Franz Wagner being out, a lot of people think about his 20 points a
08:59game.
08:59But he was the guy guarding Cade Cunningham.
09:03Cade Cunningham doesn't have that size to take Franz Wagner inside like he does on Jamal Kane.
09:11Bain takes the opening.
09:12Harris has it blocked by Carter.
09:17Bain gives it up for Cade.
09:21Cade had that thunderous dunk in game four.
09:25It was nasty.
09:26Oh, you can still feel the vibrations from him.
09:30Bain to the rim.
09:31Hangs.
09:32Missed it.
09:32Rebound grabbed by Carter.
09:34Kick out.
09:34Bankero.
09:35He's going to take it with a euro.
09:37And he's fouled.
09:40Well, that's Paolo Bankero basketball.
09:43That's Magic basketball.
09:45Look at Duren.
09:47Nobody gives you a rebound.
09:49Even if you've got inside position, everything's contested.
09:52And this, Cade Cunningham did not have this move available to him in the last couple of games against Franz
09:59Wagner.
10:02So Bankero will shoot a pair at the 738 mark of this opening quarter.
10:13Here's our live update presented by FanDuel.
10:16Current point spread Detroit minus 11 and a half.
10:19The over-under to 11 and a half.
10:22And a substitution as Anthony Black is in.
10:26He will replace Jamal Kane, the Pontiac Michigan native.
10:30And Black will now guard Cade Cunningham.
10:35And Black a good defender but doesn't have bulk either.
10:38Cade Cunningham can bully him a little bit like he could Jamal Kane.
10:44Tunningham trying to get around Suggs.
10:45Lines it up.
10:46Knocks it down.
10:49Cunningham came in only shooting 29% for three in the series.
10:53But when he gets that switch on Suggs, he's got a lot of size advantage.
10:58The Pistons open up six of nine from the field.
11:01Orlando is three of nine.
11:04Then Carroll bangs in a triple.
11:09Well, the only good three-point shooting game of the series was game three.
11:14Orlando made 15 out of 33.
11:16They're going to need to make some threes tonight not having Franz Vaden.
11:2016-11.
11:21Detroit under seven minutes to go here in the opening quarter.
11:24Duran had it knocked away.
11:25It's going to be a break opportunity.
11:27Back Carroll.
11:29To the rim for the flush.
11:32Well, this is a big edge the Magic have had.
11:35They've averaged four fewer turnovers a game than the Pistons in this series.
11:41Hard drive by Thompson.
11:44Harris, pull-up jump.
11:46Around it out.
11:47The tip-and-goes.
11:48And it's Thompson getting upstairs for the bucket.
11:53Well, and the Magic have won the offensive rebounding battle
11:57throughout the first four games here.
11:59Detroit's taking over tonight.
12:01Bain overcooked the three.
12:04And it's rebounded by the Pistons.
12:06You've really got to secure the ball in this series.
12:09And down goes Bain.
12:11Foul is called on him.
12:12And Robinson talking some trash.
12:17Officials try to get in between them.
12:22And this has been a common scene in this series.
12:26Yeah, and this will not be the last confrontation we'll have here tonight.
12:31It started on the other end where Robinson took exception to a hit.
12:37And then Robinson extends out with Bain picking up the personal.
12:44We've got a timeout in this opening quarter.
12:46Buckle up.
12:48Pushing of the opening quarter.
12:5018-13 Detroit.
12:52So, this was the sequence.
12:54The screen from Carter.
12:56He held that screen on Robinson, who took exception to it.
13:00And then on the very next possession, it's Robinson and Bain who get involved.
13:06Yeah, and it was a good call by Kevin Cutler.
13:08Bain delivered the first contact.
13:10And then Bain flopped on the floor.
13:13Not a smart play.
13:15The Magic have three 20-point scorers fronts.
13:18Wagner is out for the game.
13:20And now the other two have two fouls.
13:22Desmond Bain just went to the bench.
13:25So, Bancaro with two.
13:27Bain with two.
13:28Change here for Detroit with Dennis Jenkins seeing his first action of the night.
13:35And the adjustment for Orlando is Tristan Da Silva.
13:40Three for nine at the free throw line for...
13:46Hey!
13:47Somebody made a free throw.
13:4919-13 Pistons.
13:52It's been a ton of free throws throughout this series for these two teams because of how physical it's been.
13:58Bancaro attacking for two.
14:01There's no way you can allow that if you're Detroit.
14:04You've got to close out the paint and make them throw the ball out.
14:07This is a team who has been the worst shooting team, Orlando.
14:12They're up 3-1 and they've been the worst shooting team in the playoffs by far.
14:16Robinson, a splash from the outside.
14:21It's a good sign that Detroit's making some shots, which was just not the case in game four.
14:27They shot 38% from the field.
14:29Bancaro.
14:31Carter got fouled.
14:34It was before the shot.
14:35I don't understand why he would go for a shot fake.
14:38I don't.
14:39I mean, effort is great from both of these teams.
14:42I like the adjustment Detroit has made.
14:45They're not overextending their defense as much.
14:49But, come on.
14:50Wendell Carter Jr., if he makes the three, he makes it.
14:53He's two for nine from three in the series and you go up on a shot fake.
14:57And that's number two on Jalen Duren.
15:00So, Isaiah Stewart will check in.
15:03Stewart had eight blocks.
15:05Eight in game four.
15:07They had 18 as a team.
15:09Black coming to the rim and he throws it down.
15:14And he had eight blocks in 17 minutes.
15:1922-17.
15:21A defensive breakdown there for Detroit.
15:25Out front, Harris screen from Stewart.
15:27Harris takes it in and scores off the window.
15:31We do not want to let Tobias Harris get to his left end.
15:35Goga Batase is in.
15:37Detroit is nine of 13 from the field.
15:40Bancaro whips it over.
15:42Does Silva in and out on a three ball.
15:45Thompson head on a swivel.
15:48Hands it off for Harris.
15:49Under five minutes to go in the first.
15:55Keep the ball moving for Jenkins.
15:58Black draws the assignment.
16:01Thompson takes it in.
16:03Sets the screen and then scores.
16:06After the main basket,
16:07Da Silva draws the foul.
16:09There were three Detroit defenders in the area.
16:12And Da Silva just decided,
16:14we're going to go right to the rim.
16:15Well, that's just a great pass.
16:18Paolo Bancaro really heads up here.
16:20But nice pick and roll.
16:21And it's Sar Thompson without a dribble right to the rim.
16:25That's really his best offense.
16:27He's as a pick and roll roller.
16:33So without Franz Wagner,
16:35the minutes that Tristan Da Silva gives the team,
16:38so important.
16:39Obviously, we mentioned Jamal Cain getting the start.
16:42And we'll see who else emerges in the rotation for the Magic.
16:46Let's check out the upcoming playoff schedule.
16:48ESPN tomorrow.
16:49The Knicks at Atlanta.
16:50Game six.
16:51Denver's at Minnesota.
16:53Game six.
16:54And on Peacock, Boston and Philadelphia.
16:57Game six.
16:58Go to NBA.com.
16:59Or visit the NBA app for more info.
17:02What a great first round to tell.
17:04I mean, San Antonio and Oklahoma City pretty easy.
17:07The other six series just so competitive.
17:11Karis Levert in the game for the first time for Detroit.
17:16Cunningham back in.
17:18Ten to shoot.
17:19Feed it.
17:20Stewart loses the ball.
17:21Bancaro and Batase there.
17:24And a loose ball foul going for it against Orlando.
17:28So, free throws here for Detroit, where they have not fared well thus far.
17:34Well, Tobias Harris is going to the line.
17:36He's 0 for 3.
17:37Team's 4 for 10.
17:40But Detroit doing an outstanding job on the glass.
17:45Foul is on Da Silva.
17:51Harrison, his career, is an 84% shooter.
17:55He shot at 87% this season.
17:58Rebounding numbers lopsided.
18:0113-3 in favor of Detroit.
18:04And we said it coming in.
18:06In this series, who's ever won the possession game?
18:09Who's ever gotten more opportunities?
18:11Field goals, free throws.
18:13Has won the game.
18:14That comes down to two things.
18:15Turnovers and offensive rebounds.
18:18Well, Detroit had 20 turnovers in game four.
18:26They had 23-1 game two.
18:30Bancaro, he was looking for a call.
18:31Ball gets knocked to the outside.
18:33And it's claimed by the Magic.
18:35Bancaro hangs and hits.
18:36Wow, as he's strong around the basket.
18:42Bancaro has 10 of Orlando's 20 points.
18:46The Pistons up by 8.
18:48Ah, what a fake by Cunningham.
18:50But he doesn't get the role.
18:52Stewart is there on cleanup duty.
18:54Stewart's just been outstanding in this series.
18:58So many effort plays.
19:00Block shots, offensive rebounds.
19:02He can move his feet defensively.
19:05Bancaro loses his footing and turns it over.
19:08Break opportunity.
19:09Cunningham.
19:10Ahead.
19:10Early offense.
19:12Jenkins comes up short.
19:13And Batase grabs the rebound.
19:16Well, Jenkins has really struggled shooting the ball.
19:18Now two for 13-3 in the series.
19:22Bancaro, no.
19:24One and done for the Magic.
19:25Ten-point lead for the Pistons.
19:28Jenkins ahead.
19:29Love for it.
19:31Gets to the hoop.
19:33And throws it down.
19:38That is 20 points in the paint in the opening quarter for Detroit.
19:43Well, and a great run by Karris LeVert to put the Pistons up 12.
19:48I know you love my style.

20:10Send it over to Cassidy Hubbard.
20:12Thanks, Ian.
20:13We're going to come out punching.
20:15That was J.B. Bickerstaff's promise heading into their biggest game of the season.
20:20Inside the locker room, it has been blunt honesty.
20:23Tobias Harris said that they have been too casual so far in this series.
20:28Cade Cunningham put the blame on himself, saying turnovers and missed rebounding chances.
20:32Not talent.
20:33Had put them in this 3-1 hole.
20:35But belief has not changed.
20:36They feel they have a better team and as Isaiah 2 Stewart told me, they're not ready for
20:41their season to end and quote, prepare to fight, claw, and scratch for this win, guys.
20:45And they've done that so far on the boards.
20:48And Cassidy, the way that J.B. Bickerstaff put it to us pregame, he said, we put ourselves
20:53in this position.
20:54We know we're the only ones that can get ourselves out of it.
20:58Yeah, and they've been great so far in this game, but I don't understand coming out of
21:03the timeout how you let Anthony Black off a dead ball, take the ball all the way to the
21:09rim and lay it in.
21:11Jenkins couldn't throw it down, but Tazze was a factor defensively.
21:16Now it's Kane penetrating, floating, and scoring.
21:19Well, you know, talking about Batadze's block, I always say the most exciting NBA plays are
21:25at the rim, but we don't see a lot of them anymore because people go in and spray the
21:30ball out.
21:31These teams challenge you at the rim, and we've been able to see a lot of great plays both
21:36ways.
21:37Jenkins can't hit the 3.
21:39The struggles continue.
21:40A great pass by Karras Levert.
21:43Red the weak side, helped, skipped it to the open man.
21:46Oh, Bain goes down.
21:49Jenkins will do it himself.
21:51Pretty ball thing.
21:54It's his second magic turnover.
21:58Javante Green in the game for Detroit.
22:02De Silva trying to fend off.
22:04Batadze not a threat from there.
22:06Tend to shoot.
22:08Contact.
22:09No call.
22:10Jenkins and Kane.
22:11Black to Batadze.
22:14Is going to spin.
22:15He tried to jump hook.
22:17De Silva is right there for the offensive rebound and putback.
22:21And absolutely no one on De Silva.
22:24He gets the magic's third offensive rebound of the game.
22:3034-26.
22:31Detroit.
22:34Cunningham.
22:34Give it up.
22:35Stewart.
22:36That ball was blocked for the foul.
22:39Batadze had the coverage on the front side.
22:43And he will pick up the personal.
22:45He's going to pick up the foul.
22:46He's going to pick up the foul.
22:50Two shots here for Isaiah Stewart.
22:55Free throws.
22:5613-14 in the first quarter for the Pistons.
23:01Who are third in the league with 26 attempts during a regular season.
23:0628 and a half in the series.
23:07Very close relationship between the two head coaches
23:11That's been well documented
23:12But what was the genesis of the relationship?
23:15Yeah, that was interesting to me today, Ian
23:17Because I didn't know
23:18But Tim Gergerich, long-time, well-known player development guy
23:23Former college head coach and NBA assistant
23:26Used to run a summer camp for NBA players in Las Vegas
23:31And NBA assistants would go in and work it
23:33These two guys worked that camp together
23:36Got to know each other well there
23:37I mean, they vacationed together with their families
23:41These guys are really, really close
23:43We're down to 40 seconds to go in this first quarter
23:46But Taze for Da Silva
23:50Five to shoot
23:51Da Silva
23:53Head and shoulder fake
23:55Off the heel
23:56Knocked over to Cunningham
23:58There's a five-second difference
23:59Shot clock to game clock
24:01The Detroit lead is ten
24:06Largest lead has been twelve
24:09Black there defensively against Cunningham
24:12Switch
24:12Now it's Kane
24:13Five to shoot
24:16Jenkins, a deep one
24:18Too strong
24:20Rebounded
24:20Cunningham
24:21Takes it in
24:22With the left hand
24:26A recurring theme in this opening quarter
24:28Offensive rebounds
24:30Second chance opportunities for Detroit
24:34Bain didn't take the shot
24:35They run out of time
24:38The Pistons
24:39Performing like a desperate team
24:42Yeah, look
24:43Twelve second chance points
24:45In the first quarter
24:47Of the game
24:49Kane Cunningham
24:50Getting that one
24:51The Pistons have been great at both ends
24:54You're watching the NBA playoffs
24:56Presented by Google
24:58It's brought to you by Lily
25:00A medicine company
25:02By CarMax
25:04Want to drive?
25:06And by Google
25:09Yep, some people have been calling this
25:12The Stan Van Gundy Bowl
25:13Actually, nobody
25:14Nobody's called it that whatsoever
25:16But, Stan, you do have a connection
25:19To both franchises
25:20I'm the only coach
25:22Been fired by both franchises
25:23All right
25:25Put that on trivial pursuit
25:2738-26
25:29As we start the second quarter
25:30Here in Detroit
25:31Black feeds it
25:32But Thompson
25:33He slipped for a moment
25:35And a foul is called
25:36On the interior
25:37Thompson
25:38A little bit of a trip
25:39Inadvertently
25:40What are they missing
25:41Without having Franz Wagner
25:43Well
25:44Again
25:45They're missing a great
25:46Offensive player
25:47And he and Ben Carroll
25:48Are their main playmakers
25:49So they're using
25:50Losing that
25:52But I think the loss
25:53At the defensive end
25:54Is even more of a problem
25:56And it's why
25:57On the year
25:59Against playoff teams
26:01They were only
26:018-16
26:02Without Wagner
26:03And 3-9 on the road
26:06Anthony Black
26:07Drains it from long range
26:08And it's 38-29
26:11Detroit
26:11Black has
26:127 points off the bench
26:143-3
26:14Yeah we need him to get going
26:15Obviously with Franz Wagner out
26:17That was only his third
26:183-point maker
26:19This series
26:20Cunningham
26:21Watched by
26:22Da Silva
26:22Cunningham
26:23Drives in
26:24Comes up short
26:25Da Silva
26:26With the board
26:27Da Silva
26:28Da Silva's got size
26:28As a lot of these guys do
26:30Bain
26:31Leaves it
26:31Batase
26:32And it's last touch
26:34Orlando
26:34And hit off his leg
26:35And give Isaiah Stewart
26:37Credit for that
26:38Because Bain
26:39Had a layup
26:40And should have shot it
26:41But when Isaiah Stewart's
26:43Coming off 8 blocks
26:44People are a little reticent
26:46To shoot the ball
26:47Anywhere in the vicinity
26:48That jumper from Stewart
26:50Is short
26:51That's what people
26:53Don't understand
26:53About shot blockers
26:54It's not just the number of blocks
26:56It's the number of shots
26:58People pass up
26:59Because of the threat
27:01Of you blocking shots
27:02And of course shots
27:03That you alter
27:04Absolutely
27:05Black
27:07Drives in
27:08And he passed it
27:09Right to Thompson
27:10He tried to thread the needle
27:11Up ahead for Green
27:12Bullet feed
27:13Lavert
27:13Layup
27:14Doesn't go
27:15And a rebound
27:16Controlled by the Magic
27:18And Bain
27:19That would have been
27:20A beautiful highlight
27:21Black shifting gears
27:24Missed it
27:24And a loose ball foul
27:26It's going the other way
27:29Here it is
27:30Bain coming
27:31He had a layup
27:32But Stewart was there
27:34Forces a turnover
27:35And again here
27:36Here comes Stewart
27:38People don't want to finish over him
27:40He forces two turnovers in a row
27:42Neither one of them
27:43Shows up on his stat sheet
27:45This guy might be
27:47The Pistons' most impactful player
27:49So far in this series
27:51Foul is called on Black
27:55A lot of offense
27:56In the first quarter
27:58Will it continue here
28:00In the second
28:00The pirouette
28:01And the bucket
28:02For Cunningham
28:03Well Cain working hard
28:05But Cunningham
28:07Just a lot stronger
28:08Knocks him down
28:10On that one
28:11And gets space
28:12For the jumper
28:12Nine points
28:14For Cade Cunningham
28:15In 12 minutes of action
28:17Eventually
28:18Paolo Bencaro
28:19Is going to have to
28:20Take on that matchup
28:21Give and go
28:22Cain had it
28:23Erased by Stewart
28:25Thompson rushing ahead
28:27Cunningham
28:32Timeout magic
28:34Detroit's got its largest lead
28:36Of the night
28:40Isaiah Stewart
28:41Just shutting down
28:42The paint
28:43And starts this fast break
28:46Cade Cunningham
28:47Playing like the
28:48All-NBA guy
28:49He is
28:50Pistons by 14
28:55It's time for tonight's
28:57Delivering the Heat
28:58Presented by Wingstop
29:00And Isaiah Stewart
29:01Delivering the Heat
29:02On the defensive end
29:03Shutting down the paint
29:05Deters Bain from shooting
29:08And forces a turnover
29:09Deters Block from shooting
29:11Forces a turnover
29:13And then Cain says
29:14Okay I'll challenge you
29:16And he blocks the shot
29:18And it leads to a score
29:19At the other end
29:20Isaiah Stewart
29:21Getting it done
29:22He'll get a
29:23Well-deserved rest
29:25On the bench
29:25Jalen Dern
29:26Back in
29:29Wendell Carter Jr.
29:31Back in for Lando
29:34Bancaro returning
29:35For the Magic as well
29:37Thompson for Detroit
29:38Cross it
29:40For Cain
29:41Shut clock lining down
29:43Cain tosses it up
29:44He's fouled
29:44In three-point territory
29:47And Jamal Cain
29:49Will head to the line
29:50And that's a bad foul
29:52By Karras Levert
29:53But I didn't like Bain
29:54Making that pass
29:56Weak side against
29:57Single cover
29:58And they're gonna challenge it
30:00I think he got him
30:01On the arm
30:02We'll see
30:06Yeah he got him
30:08On the arm
30:08It wasn't a lot of contact
30:09But I don't think
30:11They're gonna win that challenge
30:12Foul called on the floor
30:16Coach's challenge
30:17From J.B. Bickerstaff
30:19For the Detroit Pistons
30:20On the three-point try
30:21From Jamal Cain
30:25Ruled unsuccessful
30:26Karas Levert in fact
30:27Was telling
30:28The sideline
30:29Hey don't
30:30Contact with Cain's
30:31Left arm on the three-point
30:32Shot attempt
30:32Therefore the encore ruling
30:34Stands
30:34The challenge is unsuccessful
30:36He knew he grazed him
30:38It wasn't a whole lot
30:39Of contact
30:39But enough
30:40That the foul was called
30:41And was gonna be held up
30:42Well we see so many times
30:44Where a coach listens
30:45To their players
30:45Who want to challenge
30:47If a guy tells you
30:48Not to challenge
30:49I think you definitely
30:50Need to listen to him
30:52And that's when we
30:54Pussed out the Zapruder film
30:56He got him
30:57He definitely did
31:00Great camera work
31:01Jamal Cain
31:04Pontiac, Michigan
31:05Native
31:06Went to Cornerstone
31:08Health and Technology
31:10High School
31:10In Detroit
31:11This is
31:12Immense
31:13For him
31:14To be
31:16Performing in this series
31:17In the NBA
31:18So in the playoffs
31:19And now doing it
31:21In his hometown
31:23And his family is here
31:25His mom Amanda
31:25Is on hand
31:28Cassidy has more
31:29Yeah he said
31:30Growing up
31:30He used to play
31:31As the Pistons
31:32On NBA 2K
31:33With his grandfather
31:34Idolizing Chauncey Billups
31:36And now
31:36Here he is
31:37Back home
31:38In a playoff series
31:39Against the same franchise
31:40He says
31:40It's definitely
31:41A special moment
31:42Having my whole family here
31:43Especially in the playoffs
31:45Words can't describe
31:46How I feel
31:47And he's hoping
31:47To put on a show
31:48For this hometown crowd
31:49He did say
31:50Put them in a tough spot
31:51They've been
31:52Ride or die
31:53Pistons fans
31:54And now
31:54They had to
31:55Get all new
31:56Paraphernalia
31:57What do they say
31:58Blood is thicker than water
32:00It is
32:01Jenkins is fouled
32:03So he will shoot a pair
32:04I think there was a
32:05Celebration
32:06From a portion of people
32:07In Detroit
32:08That may not
32:10Have
32:10Sided with the Pistons
32:12Because Kane
32:13Just put
32:14Duren
32:14On a poster
32:15In game 4
32:16One of the most
32:17Vicious finishes
32:18That you will see
32:20And on Jalen
32:21Duren
32:24Second foul on Black
32:25It sends Jenkins
32:26To the free throw line
32:27So we've talked about
32:29The Kane storyline
32:31Of being someone
32:33Just trying to hang on
32:34In the NBA
32:34Getting a two-way deal
32:35Same holds true
32:37For Dennis Jenkins
32:38He was a two-way guy
32:40For Detroit
32:41And then
32:41Started contributing
32:43At a high level
32:44It got to the point
32:45Where he was running
32:45Out of eligible days
32:47And the Pistons
32:48And Trajan Langdon
32:49President of Basketball
32:50Operations
32:51Made the decision
32:52Hey we're just gonna
32:52Sign him
32:53Wow
32:53And just a great job
32:54Trajan Langdon's
32:55Done a great job here
32:56And when you find
32:57A guy like that
32:58Just like the magic
32:59Did with Jamal Kane
33:03What that does
33:04For your team
33:04Is incredible
33:05Suggs
33:06Loses the ball
33:07Turnover
33:09Pistons up by 14
33:10They can add to it
33:11Jenkins on a kick
33:11Extra
33:12Green
33:13Bingo
33:14A three
33:20And right now
33:21Orlando has gotten
33:23Nothing from
33:24The likes of
33:25Carter and
33:25Batase
33:26Zero points
33:27Between the two of them
33:29Carter hasn't even
33:30Taken a shot tonight
33:31As Durham blocks one
33:33So Black couldn't
33:35Get a clean shot off
33:36But they control
33:37The rebound
33:38Bankero
33:38Is fouled
33:42It'll be
33:43Dennis Jenkins
33:44As Suggs
33:45Loses his footing
33:47Defense to offense
33:49Here
33:49Great extra pass
33:51By Levert
33:52Javante Green
33:53Knocks it down
33:54And throw Suggs
33:56Into that category
33:57As well
33:57He is yet to score
33:597.57 to play
34:01In this second quarter
34:02But Carter
34:03Has been a barometer
34:05For this team
34:06In the series
34:06Coming in
34:07In the three wins
34:09He was averaging
34:1014 points
34:11And 12 rebounds
34:12Shooting 62%
34:14In the one loss
34:16In game two
34:16He had three points
34:18And five rebounds
34:19And was only one for six
34:21From the floor
34:21Hasn't taken a shot
34:23And only has one rebound
34:24Tonight
34:25Two fouls on
34:26Bankero
34:27Bain
34:28And Black
34:31And Bankero
34:32Misses on the second attempt
34:34Yeah
34:34The free throw shooting
34:35Tonight
34:35Both ways
34:36Has not been good
34:37Dark Nowitzki
34:38And Nowitzki
34:39In the studio
34:40A few weeks ago
34:41Did a shooting segment
34:42These teams need to show it
34:44To their
34:44To their players
34:46Tomorrow
34:47That ball bounces off
34:49Of Bankero
34:50Out of bounds
34:50With nine to shoot
34:52Robinson back in
34:53For Detroit
34:58Jamal Mosley
34:59Told us prior to the game
35:00We never felt like
35:01Like an eight seed
35:02And they have not played
35:03Like an eight seed
35:05Well when people
35:06Started talking
35:06About the one eight
35:07I went back yesterday
35:08And looked at all
35:10The preseason predictions
35:11Where prognosticators
35:13Are just looking
35:14At rosters
35:15I think could not
35:16Find one
35:17Person
35:18Who picked
35:20Orland
35:21Who picked Detroit
35:22To finish ahead
35:23Of Orlando
35:23So this is not
35:25A huge surprise
35:26Once Orlando's healthy
35:27And Carroll
35:29Going to the free throw line
35:30The foul on Cunningham
35:32Detroit surpassed
35:34All expectations
35:35They won 60 games
35:37This year
35:37This was a huge jump
35:38For the Detroit Pistons
35:40Orlando
35:41Wasn't healthy
35:42For the majority
35:43Of the season
35:43Had finished 45 and 37
35:46The WNBA on Prime
35:48Is back
35:49Thursday night
35:50Starting May 14th
35:52A new chapter
35:52Of the WNBA on Prime
35:55Tips off
35:55Don't miss a minute
35:56Of the action
35:57The WNBA
35:58It's on Prime
36:00In 2028
36:01The Detroit
36:03Detroit will have
36:04A team in the WNBA
36:06An expansion team
36:07Tom Gore is the owner
36:08Of the Pistons
36:10Got a French
36:11Got an expansion
36:12Franchise
36:13Cunningham
36:14It dances
36:16Off the rim
36:17The Pistons
36:18Are up by 14
36:20Vanquero
36:21He's got a three
36:23Well he's doing it
36:24All on his own
36:24Right now
36:25He's not getting
36:26A whole lot of help
36:27But he's got 16 points
36:30And it's 48-37
36:32Cunningham got a bump
36:34And he's going to the free throw line
36:36Da Silva will pick up
36:37The personal
36:38That was just smart play there
36:41By Cunningham
36:43Vanquero here
36:44Tobias Harris retreating
36:46To stop the drive
36:47Pulls up and knocks it down
36:49He's two for two for three
36:51He's been over his short career
36:53A much better shooter in the playoffs
36:56Than he has in the regular season
37:00Cade Cunningham
37:03Outstanding free throw shooter
37:09In this series though
37:11The three point shot
37:12Has not been there
37:13For Cade
37:13Or for the Pistons
37:14In general
37:17Well the big problem
37:18With Cade Cunningham
37:19In the series
37:20Is he has
37:2131 assists
37:22And 29 turnovers
37:25And we have a combined
37:2629 free throw attempts
37:29We're not even midway
37:30Through the second quarter
37:31Vanquero a lot of moves
37:33Loses the ball
37:34Picked up by Harris
37:36Harris
37:36The fake
37:37Misses the layup
37:39And now numbers the other way
37:40A three on two developing
37:41Vanquero right down the middle
37:43He puts some English on it
37:45I'll tell you
37:46Even fast break layups
37:48Get contested heavily
37:50No one in this series
37:51Concedes anything
37:53This is the way
37:54NBA basketball should be played
37:57The Pistons are up by 11
38:01Harris gives up his dribble
38:03Duran with six to shoot
38:05Hands to Robinson
38:06Down goes to
38:08Da Silva
38:08And there will be
38:10A foul called
38:11And that's number three
38:14So Tristan Da Silva
38:16At the 608 mark
38:18Is going to head to the bench
38:22Well
38:23The Magic wanted
38:24An illegal screen call
38:26They could challenge
38:27The foul
38:28If they wanted
38:29And have it
38:30Have them look
38:31At the proximate foul
38:33But I don't think
38:33They would win that challenge
38:35Jamal Mosley
38:36Just said to the official
38:38How does he just fall
38:39Yeah he just got tripped a little
38:40I think he did just fall
38:42To be honest though
38:47Duran out on the perimeter
38:49That pass got deflected by Black
38:52Out of bounds
38:54It's going to be a jump ball
39:03They could not determine
39:05Who touched it last
39:06On the simultaneous touch
39:09And now
39:11The officials are heading to midcourt
39:13They're going to put 24 on the shot clock
39:15And we're just going to get a jump ball
39:25Trying to figure out why there would be 24 on the shot clock
39:29For Detroit
39:32Also it appeared as if Black touched it last
39:35That's why Detroit was confounded
39:38And the Magic controlled the tip
39:40I'm confounded also
39:42Though I spend a lot of my life like that
39:44So it's not a rare condition for me
39:46It's a perpetual state of being confounded
39:49Yes
39:49I'm used to it
39:50Oh major mismatch here
39:52You've got to come and help early
39:53Banqueiro
39:55Baseline
39:56It goes
39:57Plus one
39:58He's trying to do this all on his own
40:00Look I think Detroit
40:03I know they've got a nice lead
40:04I think they've got to think about coming to get him
40:08Hit him with the double team early
40:10Make someone else
40:13Do something offensively
40:15It is all him
40:17He makes this free throw
40:18And he'll have half their points
40:20Right now has 20
40:25Short
40:27And Thompson with the board
40:28And take it away
40:32Hitting the deck
40:33Desmond Bain
40:35And these two teams once again
40:38Go chest to chest
40:39Wow and a great job on the Detroit bench
40:42Holding their guys back
40:44You don't want to lose players
40:45Getting into that
40:47Coming off the bench
40:48Hey look
40:49Everything's contested in this series
40:51Detroit had the rebound
40:54But then they get stripped
40:56You can never relax
40:58With the ball in this series
41:00So Bain gathers at this point
41:04Thompson touched it
41:06Bain tried to get up
41:07And Thompson was still on top of him
41:09Took exception
41:11Kevin Cutler gets in between them
41:15And nothing materialized beyond that
41:19Well in my opinion
41:21Well in my opinion
41:22The guy who's standing over a guy
41:24Has to get out of the way
41:25At that point
41:26The guy underneath
41:27What's he supposed to do
41:28Just lay there for as long
41:30As a guy wants to stand over him
41:32He's got to be able to get up
41:37And I say that as a huge
41:39Asar Thompson fan
41:40Asar Thompson
41:42Remained in that position
41:44And eventually Bain
41:46Had enough of being on the floor
41:48Yeah look
41:48It's a little bit of gamesmanship
41:51This is the way playoff basketball
41:53Should be
41:54You've been around the league
41:55A long time
41:56You're a couple years older
41:57Than I am
41:59You know this is the way
42:00It should be
42:02There's shit
42:03Especially by the time
42:04You get to game five
42:05All of our guys
42:06In the studio
42:07Can talk to that
42:08Talk to that point
42:10The first few games
42:11Yeah you're just playing basketball
42:13Now you're tired
42:14Of the other people
42:15This has been a physical sense
42:18I mean look at tonight
42:1920 fouls already
42:21We've still
42:22We're only a quarter and a half in
42:2330 free throw attempts
42:25These teams are fighting like crazy
42:27And you're just tired
42:28Of everyone on the other side
42:30I've also realized tonight
42:31That math confuses you
42:34After review
42:35There were no unsportsman acts
42:37That occurred during the good ball
42:39Therefore there's no penalty
42:40And it's a play on
42:42Good job
42:46It's also using some logic
42:48Yes
42:49Yes
42:50Ben Wallace
42:52Among the
42:55Pistons greats
42:56That are on hand
42:57Rick Mahorn
42:58Doing the radio side
43:00With the legend
43:01George Blaha
43:02For Detroit
43:02Well look
43:03Rick Mahorn
43:04Looked at that play
43:05And didn't even know
43:06What they were talking about
43:07Exactly
43:08Like
43:09Like he's thinking
43:10Like my gosh
43:11I mean I did things
43:13Worse than that
43:1315 times a game
43:15When I played
43:15He did worse than that
43:17Tonight
43:17Yes probably
43:18In the press room
43:20I tell you what
43:21Though Rick looks great
43:22Rick has
43:23Lost a ton of weight
43:24Looks like he could go back out
43:25And play
43:26And in this series
43:27Would be made for Rick Mahorn
43:28537 mark
43:30Of this second quarter
43:31Orlando triggers in
43:32They're down by nine
43:33They trail by as many
43:35As 17
43:36Bain
43:37The fake
43:37The fend off
43:38The jumper
43:39Doesn't go
43:40And Thompson flies in
43:42For the board
43:42I know you gotta get
43:44Other guys going
43:45Right now
43:45If I were the magic
43:46I would not have
43:47A single possession
43:48Where Paulo
43:51Cunningham gets fouled
43:52On the follow
43:53So he missed it
43:55At the rim
43:55On the spin move
43:56But he was right there
43:57For the offensive rebound
43:58And free throws
44:00For Cade Cunningham
44:01It will be Carter
44:03On the personal
44:04Well the stars
44:06Have stepped up
44:06Tonight
44:07The two guys
44:08Who were former
44:09Number one
44:09Kicks
44:10Are looking like it
44:11Cunningham
44:12And Bancaro
44:13Both playing
44:14At an extremely
44:15High level
44:1815 points now
44:19For Cade Cunningham
44:22Bancaro has
44:23Put up 20
44:26And this free throw
44:27Attempt will be
44:28The 20th
44:29Of the first half
44:30For Detroit
44:32This is the best
44:33Detroit's offense
44:34Has looked
44:35By far
44:38In this series
44:39They had the great
44:40Third quarter
44:40In game two
44:41But other than that
44:42It's been a total slog
44:44But tonight
44:44They look good
44:46They were the number
44:46Eight scoring team
44:48In the NBA
44:48This season
44:49At just under
44:49118 points
44:51Per game
44:51They have averaged
44:52Less than 100
44:53In the four games
44:54In this series
44:55Bancaro
44:56Kick it out
44:57The Bain three
44:59Put it on the board
45:00Desmond Bain
45:02From deep
45:02That's Bancaro's
45:04Third assist
45:04Tonight
45:05To go with
45:06His 20 points
45:07He's doing it all
45:08For this magic team
45:1352-44
45:14Detroit
45:15Cunningham
45:17He's just finding
45:18His spots
45:19He's too big
45:21He can go over
45:22The top of Bain
45:23He can bully
45:24Black
45:24There's just really
45:26No one out there
45:27Who can guard
45:28Him very well
45:29He knows that
45:30Bancaro misses
45:32From the outside
45:32Detroit up by 10
45:34Thompson early
45:35Offense cut off
45:36By Bancaro
45:37Duren trying to keep
45:38The ball moving here
45:39Has to go to the other side
45:43Harris one-on-one
45:44With Suggs
45:45The back end
45:47The fend off
45:48Misses on the fade
45:49Right there
45:50For the follow
45:52Probably got away with a push-off
45:54But I really like it
45:56Because it was a flop
45:57By Jalen Suggs
45:59And I like
46:00Not giving guys calls
46:02On the flop
46:02That is nine
46:03Offensive rebounds
46:05For the Pistons
46:06In the first half
46:07We are under four minutes
46:08To go
46:08Second quarter
46:10Bancaro
46:11Somehow the ball
46:12Made its way to Carter
46:13Spray it to the outside
46:14And Suggs
46:15Drills it from long range
46:17Oh, they've made
46:18Six out of 11 threes
46:20The Pistons always
46:22Load up the paint
46:23If they can make some threes
46:24They might be able
46:25To get back in this
46:2856-47
46:30Pistons
46:32Black has the assignment
46:33On Cunningham
46:34Switch with Bain
46:35Cunningham
46:36Fend off and fade
46:37It's good
46:38Well, Cunningham
46:39They're running the pick and roll
46:41To get that matchup
46:42He knows he can go over the top
46:45He's got 20
46:46He wants the matchup
46:47With Bain
46:48Carter
46:48Laces a three
46:50And another assist
46:52From Paolo Bancaro
46:53Reading the floor
46:55And understanding
46:56Detroit is loaded up
46:57Against him
46:58They're going to try
46:59To get this switch again
47:00Now they're going to double
47:03Harris feed it
47:04Baseline
47:05Thompson
47:08Cutter
47:08It wasn't for Cunningham
47:10But it ends up with Dern
47:11And he comes up short
47:12Cunningham
47:13The offensive rebound
47:14And free throws
47:15For Cade Cunningham
47:17He's got 20 points
47:19He's getting this matchup
47:20With Bain
47:21And he knows
47:22He can go over the top
47:24The great Bob McAdoo
47:25You told me early on
47:26In my NBA tenure
47:27When he had a guy
47:28Smaller on him
47:29He relaxed
47:30Because he knew it was
47:31Just make or miss
47:32And that's the state
47:34That Cunningham is in
47:36The last time though
47:37The magic blitzed him
47:39They trapped the pick and roll
47:42But Detroit did an excellent job
47:44Executing
47:45And they continue to dominate
47:47On the offensive glass
47:49Cunningham is 6-6 with a 7 foot wingspan
47:52And Bain and Harris getting into it a bit
47:55Well Detroit wanting to huddle
47:58Bain obviously has the right to be in that huddle
48:01But Detroit didn't appreciate it
48:04We're not done with altercations
48:06For the evening
48:06I hope everyone watching this game
48:09Understands that
48:09That is the third foul on Desmond Bain
48:14And they need somebody to
48:16Line up
48:18Along the paint
48:22Cunningham at the free throw line
48:25Detroit has 10 offensive rebounds
48:28Orlando has 11 defensive rebounds
48:31It's been domination
48:35Which is just what Orlando did to them
48:38In the two games
48:39Down in Orlando
48:41But Orlando has not been able
48:43To have success on the offensive boards
48:46Here in the city of Detroit
48:48These two teams have the worst
48:50Offensive rating in the playoffs thus far
48:52Offense has been much better
48:54You're so negative
48:56What you could have said is
48:58They have the two best defensive ratings
49:00In the playoffs
49:01Let me amend my statement
49:02Stan
49:03These two teams have the two best defensive ratings
49:07In the postseason
49:32Here for the magic coming off the bench
49:36Anthony Black has been outstanding all year
49:40Went from nine points a game last year to 15 this year
49:44Stay tuned for the half
49:45Presented by AT&T Taylor Rooks
49:47Steve Nash
49:48Dirk Nowitzki
49:49Blake Griffin
49:49Udonis Haslam
49:50Breakdown of the first half
49:52The Raptors and the Cavaliers
49:53Will update you on that one
49:55All coming up
49:57Well you know I was watching our studio show before the game
50:01Absolutely amazed with Taylor Rooks versatility as a player
50:06When they're out demonstrating stuff
50:08She plays every position on the floor
50:10She's outstanding
50:13It's called being multi-dimensional
50:16Oh my gosh
50:17I mean
50:17We talk about positionless basketball
50:20Taylor Rooks
50:22Both teams are shooting it at 51% from the field
50:27And another whistle
50:29Cunningham
50:30Was trying to work the baseline against Kane
50:36So Cunningham will get two more attempts
50:39Where he's six of six tonight
50:41How has Kane managed to play this long before he fouled
50:46In this game
50:47That is his first foul of the night
50:49At the 2-18 mark of the second
50:51And Tobias Harris still doesn't have a foul
50:53Come on get in the game out here
50:57And Cunningham just keeps making his free throw
50:597 of 7
51:0123 points in 18 minutes
51:09Detroit was 4 of 10 at the free throw line
51:14And they've now made 14 straight
51:2062-51 Pistons
51:22We approach 2 minutes to go
51:23Second quarter
51:27Vanquero
51:28Now facing Levert
51:29Vanquero
51:30Euros floats
51:32And puts it in
51:33That is a big time move
51:3722 points for Paolo Vanquero
51:398 of 13 from the field
51:42Cunningham lines it up
51:43Nails it for 3
51:45That's what everybody tries to do on Kane Cunningham
51:48Go under the screen on the pick and roll
51:51But he's starting to get his legs back
51:53But he's starting to get his legs back from having that
51:55Those collapsed lung and the timeout
51:57And now if his legs are there and he can make threes
52:00He's indefensible
52:01He's got 27 points in the first half
52:04Vanquero
52:05Missed it
52:06The rebound to Thompson
52:09Cunningham has 20 points in the second quarter
52:15Is there more meat on the bone?
52:18Off the mark but a foul
52:22It was Kane and Stewart out front
52:25Here it is Kane trying to go under Stewart's screen twice
52:28He just does a great job
52:31Slow down
52:32Gets his feet set
52:34Nothing rushed
52:35And just knocks it in
52:39Stewart just such a good screener as is Durant
52:43And now Kane fouls trying to get through the screen
52:47Puts Stewart at the line
52:52Stewart's a 76% shooter
52:55Kane has called for his second foul
53:01Durant on the bench with seven points
53:04Four rebounds
53:05And one block
53:09One out of two for Isaiah Stewart
53:1113 point advantage for Detroit
53:17Black Vanquero
53:19Carter
53:19Suggs
53:20And Kane
53:21Five on the floor for the Magic
53:23Just over a minute to go
53:25First half
53:28Suggs
53:30He draws the foul
53:32They believe that Detroit grabbed the net
53:36And that shook the backboard
53:38They are talking about it
53:41And they are going to count the basket
53:44Yep, no question
53:45He grabs the rim or the net
53:48One
53:48Basket counts
53:50Suggs at the line for one
53:51Bad foul
53:52But Tobias Harris, I understand
53:54He was the only guy in the game
53:55Who didn't have a foul
53:56It seemed like this is what we're doing tonight
53:58Is fouling
53:59I want to join the party
54:01So Harris has got that coveted first foul
54:05Stewart with the goaltend
54:06Suggs with a chance for three
54:08And it's a round and out
54:09But there's a loose ball foul
54:11And now Harris
54:13Who had the ball
54:17A foul is called
54:19Stewart and Harris
54:20Were going for it
54:21Carter took the hit
54:22And Stewart will pick up the personal
54:27Well, he got beat on the move
54:30Very nice move
54:31To get to the baseline side
54:33For the offensive rebound
54:35And Stewart just tried to hold him up
54:38And ended up pushing him
54:39A very, very good call
54:42There by the officials
54:43To not miss that
54:45And that is
54:46Great effort by Carter
54:46Two on beef stew
54:50Is that the best nickname in the NBA?
54:53It's up there
54:53It's got to be top three
54:55Yeah, absolutely
54:57Wendell Carter Jr.
54:59With a second free throw coming
55:00For Carter
55:02Just four points
55:03And one rebound
55:05In this first half
55:06You know, I tried to tell
55:08Our producers
55:10At the beginning of the series
55:11When we were going to come here
55:13If you have an Orlando-Detroit game
55:16Your window for the game
55:18Needs to be about
55:18Three and a half hours
55:20Because there's going to be
55:21A lot of stoppages in play
55:24Other nicknames
55:25I'd say the Great Barrier Thief
55:27Is up there
55:27Okay, that's a good one
55:28The Stifle Tower
55:29Is pretty good
55:30Excellent
55:31I'm still going deep stew
55:32So far, though
55:33It's my top three
55:36Cunningham
55:37In and out
55:38And it's rebounded by Suggs
55:4045 seconds to go
55:41First half
55:42Black
55:43The pull-up three
55:44He's got it
55:47Anthony Black
55:48Fills the cup
55:49From the outside
55:50And it's a six-point game
55:51Incredible
55:52But
55:52It's three-point shooting
55:54Of all things
55:55Eight for 14
55:56From the team
55:57Who has been the worst shooting
55:59Team overall
56:00In the playoffs
56:01Thompson
56:02Couldn't get it to go
56:04On the reverse
56:04There's a five-second difference
56:06Shot clock to game clock
56:08Hot hand
56:09No, Black missed it
56:11But a discard
56:12Kane ends up
56:13On his backside
56:14And a foul called
56:15And a foul called
56:44Against Detroit
56:44With his effort on the offensive rebound
56:45On the free throw
56:46Kane gets to the line
56:48On his effort
56:49On the glass
56:49There
56:50They're gonna have to
56:51Make some of these
56:52Free throws
56:53They're now
56:54Under 60%
56:56At the free throw line
56:57Right now
56:57Foul was called
56:58On Stewart
56:59His third
57:03And Kane
57:04Misses on a pair
57:07Wow
57:07And now the Pistons
57:09Can hold for one
57:10So an empty trip
57:11There
57:11For the Magic
57:14Detroit up by six
57:15Nine seconds left
57:17Cunningham
57:18To Robinson
57:19He thought Stewart
57:20Was gonna
57:20Make his move
57:21And they turned it over
57:23Sugs
57:23Two seconds
57:24Pulls up
57:24Off the heel
57:26At the horn
57:27Got a pretty good look at it
57:29He did
57:30And if you're Orlando
57:30You gotta be thrilled
57:32To only be down six
57:33Right now
57:34Absolutely thrilled
57:35The largest cushion
57:37Was 17
57:38For Detroit
57:39And now a six-point lead
57:42At the break
57:43The Pistons are down
57:44Three games to one

58:20They've been playing
58:21Has not been good
58:22Enough to win games
58:23Jalen Duren
58:23Said this ain't over
58:24They upped the physicality
58:26But the magic
58:27Matched it there
58:27To end the half
58:28Yes
58:28They definitely
58:29They definitely
58:29Answered the call
58:30They handled
58:30The offensive rebound
58:31And you see
58:32Early in the game
58:32I think they made
58:33An emphasis
58:33Of getting in the paint
58:34But not only
58:35Getting in the paint
58:35But offensive rebound
58:36So if you're gonna
58:37Switch those small guys
58:38On to our bigs
58:39We're gonna beat you
58:40Up on the glass
58:40So right now
58:41They're 18-8
58:42On offensive rebounds
58:43In a possession game
58:44Where teams are gonna
58:44Struggle to score
58:45You need those
58:46Offensive rebounds
58:47Not only that
58:48But they're also
58:49Running the game
58:50In the paint
58:5126-24 right now
58:52I know that's a
58:53Small margin
58:53But once again
58:54With teams that
58:54Do not shoot the ball
58:55From the perimeter
58:56You will take
58:57A two-point advantage
58:58In the game
