The Detroit Pistons staged a historic 24-point comeback in Orlando on Friday to beat the Magic 79-93, tie the series 3-3 and force a Game 7 this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Pistons stormed out of the locker room with a 19-55 run in the second half, holding the Magic to a devastating 1-of-28 on their final shots from the field. It was a rout in Orlando. Detroit, number one in the East, thus saved its second do-or-die game after being down 3-1 in the series.<\/p>\n

Cade Cunningham said after winning Game 5 that the Pistons compete at their best with their “backs against the wall.”<\/p>\n

This Friday they needed to be eliminated, 24 points down in the third quarter, to finally react.<\/p>\n

Of the 300 teams that have been down 3-1 in NBA<\/a> history, only 36 (12%) have managed to force a Game 7.<\/p>\n

And only 13 (4 %) have ended up coming from behind.<\/p>\n

The Pistons held on in the first quarter, but the Magic opened the second with a 24-4 run that knocked out Detroit.<\/p>\n

Cunningham, Jalen Duren and company could not find answers and went to the locker room 60-38, down 22.<\/p>\n

It was just at the turn that the Magic achieved the maximum difference of +24.<\/p>\n

This was a real turning point in the game played at the KIA Center in Orlando, which in just a few minutes went from a party to a funeral (Filed under: Pistons make historic comeback).<\/p>\n

From being qualified against all odds for the East semifinals, to having to play a seventh game in Detroit, very emotionally affected.<\/p>\n

The Pistons’ third quarter was very good: an 11-24 run allowed them to cut the deficit to nine points.<\/p>\n

But the last one was superb, leaving the Magic at 1 of 20 from the field (5 %).<\/p>\n

The Pistons’ step forward in defensive intensity and speed on offense after halftime completely changed the game.<\/p>\n

When the Pistons tied it at 72-72, the Magic were trailing 1-18, which made it 1-26.<\/p>\n

In a sequence of 23 consecutive missed shots from the field by Orlando (Filed under: Pistons sign historic comeback).<\/p>\n

Cunningham leads feat, ignites Pistons’ dreams<\/h2>\n

Cade Cunningham, the true hero of the comeback with 19 points in the fourth quarter, finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Tobias Harris contributed another 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Duncan Robinson added 14 points to the cause.<\/p>\n

“Never give up. Detroit is that toughness we’ve been talking about all year.”<\/p>\n

“We’ve done a great job hanging in there, we kept fighting, never giving up.”<\/p>\n

Cunningham said at the end of the match in a court-side statement.<\/p>\n

It was a collapse in Orlando<\/p>Qu\u00e9Onnda.com<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n

“We dug ourselves into a deep hole, and now it’s time to try to get out of it.”<\/p>\n

“It’s going to require everything: putting your body into it, leaving it all on the track and competing at the limit, and that’s what we’ve been doing,” he added.<\/p>\n

For the Magic, Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane each scored 17 points.<\/p>\n

Along with Tristan da Silva, with 10 points, they were the only Orlando players in double figures.<\/p>\n
