An offensive clinic
Desmond Bane didn’t hold back: sharp drives, finishes at the rim and steady free-throw shooting defined his night. He posted an impressive stat line — 37 points on 13/25 shooting, plus 8 rebounds — proving he’s still one of Orlando’s main offensive engines. The only hitch was his three-point shooting.
Beyond the scoring, Bane was clutch on several key possessions and drew fouls that helped Orlando hang onto the lead in the final minutes. His knack for closing under pressure left Detroit’s defense scrambling.
This win buys the Magic some breathing room at a crucial stage and cements Bane as a go-to scorer. For Detroit, it raises questions: after a 13-game winning streak, the Pistons have now dropped two they should’ve won. They’d better not regret these giveaways later.
