The Detroit Pistons could really use this 120-115 win after a lackluster road trip. On top of that, the Magic entered the game just a half game ahead in the Eastern Conference, giving Detroit sole possession of the ninth seed.
This game was the first win at Little Caesar’s Arena since December 26
First Quarter
Things started slow, as each team could not even hit the rim before the shot clock expired. Andre Drummond also started cold, missing his first two shots. The Magic were able to get out to a quick four point lead before Reggie Jackson hit a three to get the Pistons on the board.
