The first two trips to the postseason for the Orlando Magic unfortunately ended in sweeps.
After making their first playoff appearance during the 1993-94 season, the Magic were swept in the first round by the Indiana Pacers in three games. The next year, Orlando went all the way to the NBA Finals, but were swept in four games by the Houston Rockets.
On this day 25 years ago, the Magic finally got to do the sweeping. Orlando closed out the Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs with a 101-98 victory.
The first two games of the best-of-five series in Orlando weren’t close.
