On Friday, the Detroit Pistons (15-3, 2-1) host the Orlando Magic (11-8, 3-0) at Little Caesars Arena in the NBA Cup, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Pistons saw their franchise-record-tying 13-game win streak snapped on Wednesday, falling 117-114 to the Boston Celtics. Down by three points with 4.4 seconds left, Cade Cunningham was fouled on a 3-point shot, but missed his third free throw that would have tied the game.
Cunningham led the Pistons with 42 points, eight rebounds and five assists, Jalen Duren tallied 12 points and 16 rebounds and Tobias Harris added 12 points. Cunningham is one of 12 players this season with multiple 40-point games (2).
The Magic posted a 144-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, their fifth-ever 140-point game. They blew the game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Sixers 51-25 after shooting 74.1% from the field. Their 51 points were the most in any quarter in franchise history.
Anthony Black recorded a career-high 31 points, while Franz Wagner scored 21 points and Desmond Bane added 15 points to lead the Magic, who had a franchise-record nine players finish in double figures. Black became the 14th reserve player in franchise history to score 30 points.
The winner on Friday will claim East Group B and advance to the knockout round of the NBA Cup. The Magic can also clinch the wild card with a loss, given their plus-61 point differential, depending on the outcomes of other matchups in the Eastern Conference.
