The Detroit Pistons overcame a 3-1 deficit and beat the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2026 playoffs.Â
It’s Detroit’s first playoff series win since 2008. Coincidentally, that second-round series was also against Orlando. The Magic had prime Dwight Howard, but that didn’t stop the Pistons from eliminating them in five games.Â
