Paolo Banchero scored nine of his team-high 23 points in the first quarter as the Magic ambushed Detroit out of the gate on the way to a 112-101 victory in Game 1. Banchero also grabbed nine rebounds while Franz Wagner dropped 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter as Orlando put the game away. Wendell Carter Jr. and Desmond Bane finished with 17 points and five assists each and Jalen Suggs put up 16 points and three steals.

Cade Cunningham scored a career playoff-high 39 points for the Pistons, who shot just 40.3% in its first game in a week, with Tobias Harris adding 17 points. Orlando packed the paint defensively, holding All-Star center Jalen Duren to just eight points on 3-of-4 shooting while Duren and Ausar Thompson grabbed seven rebounds apiece. Detroit mustered only 34 points in the paint after averaging 57.9 points per game from that range during the regular season.

Both teams carry some postseason baggage into the series. The Magic haven’t advanced past the first round since 2010 while Detroit hasn’t won a playoff series since 2008, the final year of its run of six consecutive Eastern Conference Finals appearances.
