Objectively good game. Great duel from Cade and Paolo. Only problem was that my squad couldn’t get it done. But it was a good contest.

Great game! Paolo and Cade both scored 40+ paolo being 2 points shy from breaking the all time magic points in a single playoff game record the Pistons attempted over 30 free throws with 20+ fouls in the first half and despite it being close all game it never truly felt like the Magic had a chance 6.5/10 magic hold off on the fouls next time ight?

Fun one. Cade v Paolo? Im here

when MEGATRON is in the building you go defend the den no matter what it takes. cade understood what was up and god damn did he ball out. paolo as well, hell of a back and forth.

great battle by paolo and cade. this could absolutely turn into a great series if we get two more like this. wish i caught more of this besides the last quarter

as much as i have decided im rooting for the magic it would be fun to see a pistons comeback

X1 entre Cade e Banchero, ambos anotando 45 pontos, a diferença é que um lado tem Tobias com 23, Duren aparecendo, finalmente, com rebotes ofensivos e tocos, Ausar entregando muita fisicalidade, pegando muito rebote, o outro tem um time omisso, que não se movimenta e, principalmente, erra bola clutch. Tanto Bane quanto Wendell Carter tiveram bolas livres pra empatar o jogo, e ambos erraram, apesar do último quarto fantástico, o Banchero perde o jogo. Em um jogo onde Orlando finalmente vai bem nas bolas de três, o time vai 16/30 no lance livre, incluindo o Banchero, que foi 5/12. Mais um jogo onde o Magic perde por bobeira, muita dificuldade pra fechar a série, pode acabar custando muito caro, veremos no jogo 7 hoje.

Two dudes trading 45 pieces

The most fraudulent one seed in NBA history stays alive! I mean really, this Pistons team really is a 3 seed at best. The Celtics are much better than them. The Knicks are much better than them. Hell, I'd be willing to say the Cavaliers are better than them. But anyways, they get a huge win here to send the series back to Orlando where the Magic can clinch at home.

The Pistons were able to hold off the Magic and extend this series!

@sylentfeedback

Really good game. The Pistons avoid elimination at home to bring the series to 3-2. Both Paolo and Cade were amazing this game. Every time the Pistons started to pull away, the Magic started hitting some crazy 3s to stay within reach. In the end though, the Pistons were just too much and pulled away at the end. Still, I was really impressed with Paolo’s performance this game. This feels like a 7 game series

@underwoodforheisman

Pretty good game but man the magic need to end this
