Magic Aim to Finish Pistons in Game 5: 3 Key Matchups to Watch

TL;DR Summary
Orlando holds a 3-1 lead entering Game 5 at Detroit as the Pistons look to extend the series. Three things to watch: 1) Detroit should deploy Isaiah Stewart more to anchor the paint and slow Orlando’s interior scoring; 2) Cade Cunningham must protect the ball and curb turnovers to reduce wasted possessions; 3) Orlando must navigate the playoff pressure and the looming 3-1 comeback history as they try to close out the series.
