Detroit Pistons Whiff After 4th-Quarter Rally in NBA Cup Loss to Magic
A determined 10-point push in the fourth quarter wasn’t enough as the Detroit Pistons fell to the Orlando Magic during NBA Cup competition at Little Caesars Arena on Friday.
Despite showing late-game energy, Detroit’s comeback hopes faded as Orlando maintained control in the closing minutes, securing the win. The Pistons struggled to convert key opportunities, a recurring issue this season as they continue seeking consistency on both ends of the court.
“We fought hard, but we didn’t finish strong enough,” said a team representative in the postgame remarks.
The loss highlights the team’s ongoing growing pains, with flashes of potential overshadowed by streaky execution and late-game lapses.
Author summary: Detroit mounted a late surge but couldn’t sustain momentum, losing another tight contest in the NBA Cup to Orlando.
