Magic seize 3-1 edge as Pistons face playoff elimination

The Orlando Magic beat the Detroit Pistons 94-88 to take a 3-1 series lead in the NBA playoffs, led by Desmond Bane (22), Franz Wagner (19), Paolo Banchero (18) and Wendell Carter Jr. (12), and forced 20 turnovers. Wagner left late with right calf soreness, casting uncertainty for Game 5 in Detroit. Cade Cunningham struggled with eight early turnovers and 17 over the last two games, while Isaiah Stewart supplied a defensive spark with eight blocks. Detroit may consider a lineup tweak as it tries to extend the series in Game 5 back in Detroit, while Orlando eyes closing out the series at the Pistons’ home court.

There is no clear reason for this trend, but it could be due to the players' size and shooting abilities. The Magic may need a new name, such as the Orlando Wolverines or Michigan Magic.
