Pistons force Game 7 with historic 24-point comeback as Magic collapse

In the long history of sport as a mirror for human resilience, few moments speak as clearly as a team refusing to accept what appears inevitable. On a Friday night in Orlando, the Detroit Pistons — facing elimination and trailing by 24 points at halftime — dismantled the Magic's offense so completely in the second half that a 93-79 victory forced a Game 7, making them only the 38th team in NBA history to claw back from a 3-1 series deficit. Led by Cade Cunningham's 32-point performance, Detroit reminded a watching world that outcomes are written at the final whistle, not the halftime horn.
