PLAYOFFS REVISITED: What the Orlando Magic taught the Detroit Pistons in their Playoff series

It has been four months since the Orlando Magic battled the Detroit Pistons in the Playoffs. Both have been stewing on their postseason experience as they prepare for a difficult and tight 2027 season.

The Pistons were caught somewhat by surprise in their series with the Magic. Suddenly down 3-1, Detroit’s weaknesses with their shooting and their lack of secondary attackers was fully exposed. If not for Franz Wagner’s injury, the Pistons would have surely lost.

How did the Magic limit Jalen Duren throughout the series and what will that mean for the Pistons as they continue negotiating a new contract with the All-Star center?

How impactful was Ausar Thompson and where did he fall short in the Pistons’ playoff run?
