Pistons fall to Magic, 108-106, on buzzer-beating layup by Carter Jr.

Orlando — The Pistons were tested in every way imaginable in their first game after the All-Star break.

The final two plays of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic showed that the game isn't over until the final buzzer sounds.

Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey nailed a clutch 3-pointer to tie the game at 106 with five seconds remaining. The Magic had enough time for one play and Rookie of the Year frontrunner Paolo Banchero attempted a layup and missed, but Wendell Carter Jr. tipped the ball in at the buzzer, bringing the crowd inside Amway Arena to its feet.
