Top fan take from @FlameRaptorRaven: “Funny how history repeats itself. The Pistons repeat what they did back in 2003 and come back from down 3-1 against the Orlando Magic with a win that started close, but became a blowout in the 2nd half. This could’ve easily been Banchero’s legacy game. In some ways, you could argue it still is. Banchero put up 36 of Orlando’s 94 points on great shooting splits. He even shot well from 3. His strong start was a big reason why Orlando kept it close until the end of the 1st half. At the end of the day, this is a team game. No matter what some people may try to tell you. The Pistons proved that. Cade was great and a big reason they won, but the Pistons don’t survive without a couple key performers. Most notably, Tobias Harris. The 1st quarter and a half were close. Then Harris took over. He put up 17 in the 2nd and led a 20-6 run in the last 4 minutes to build a double digit lead Detroit never gave up. It’s impossible for me to give this a green since the 2nd half was waiting for the end. ”
