The Detroit Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic 116-94 in Game 7 to complete the comeback and win the first-round series. Cade Cunningham finished the game with 32 points, with Tobias Harris adding 30 points. No one can ever say [stuff] to me about Tobias Harris, Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. He's a leader and a great human being, and he's a high-level competitor.
He showed up tonight and did what he did with everything on the line. Jalen Duren also added 15 points and 15 rebounds in the win. Paolo Banchero was unsure when asked whether the Magic had enough to compete following the loss. I want to say yes, but this is the third straight time we haven't gotten out of the first round, Banchero said. So, if you are going off the last three years, the answer is no. The nice answer is yes, but honestly speaking, I can't say we're good enough to be in the Finals or the Eastern finals because the last three years, we've had the same result. So, that's your answer. Orlando coach Jamahl Mosley avoided answering any specific questions over the offseason. There's time to reflect on this and start thinking about changes we might be able to make, Mosley said. Today is about the gratitude for these guys and how they gave us a chance to play in a Game 7. They fought and battled the whole way. We just didn't get the job done.
