Magic Outmaneuver Pistons, Grab 3-1 Series Lead
TL;DR
Orlando used floor-spacing and lockdown defense to defeat Detroit 94-88 in Game 4, taking a 3-1 series lead. The Pistons’ post-up plan was stifled as the Magic crowded the paint and Detroit’s offense stalled, while Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner helped push the pace and secure the win. Wagner left the fourth quarter with calf soreness, adding concern but not derailing the series for Orlando.
