Tobias Harris contributed 30 points and nine rebounds, including five shots from long distance, while Jalen Duren signed a double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds.\n\nWith this victory, the Pistons achieve their first playoff series win in 18 years, reaffirming their status as the best team in the East in the regular season.\n\nBy Orlando, Paolo Banchero had an outstanding performance with 38 points, nine rebounds, and six assists, but lacked offensive support. Franz Wagner’s absence was felt again, while Desmond Bane added 16 points as the second-highest scorer on the team.\n\nDetroit took control of the match in the second quarter with a partial score of 40-27 and extended their lead to 25 points in the third period, leaving no real options for a Magic team that could not sustain the pace.\n\nThe Pistons will meet their next rival between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors, who are playing the seventh game of their series.\n\nIn the other Eastern Conference semifinal, the Philadelphia 76ers will face the New York Knicks, after eliminating Boston at the TD Garden.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
