The Orlando Magic held onto a 22-point lead against the Pistons, but nearly let the game go away in the fourth quarter. The team scored 26 points off 17 turnovers and shot 45% (9-for-20) from 3-point range, while limiting the Pistons to 30%. Despite a strong performance from Detroit, Orlando managed to recover and win 123-107. The win was Orlando's third in a row. Despite this, the Magic are still battling for postseason positioning with only three games remaining. They can still finish as high as fifth in the East but as low as 10th, a spot that requires winning two road games in the Play-In Tournament to reach the playoffs. The Magic's final home game will be against Minnesota.
