The Orlando Magic's playoff journey ended with a disappointing 116-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons in Game 7, marking their third consecutive first-round exit. Paolo Banchero (forward for the Magic) delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 38 points, but he received little help from his teammates, who collectively managed just 32 points. The Magic's offensive struggles were evident, as they averaged only 16.6 points across the last six quarters of the series, including a mere 15 points in the third quarter of Game 7. Meanwhile, the Pistons advanced to the second round, bolstered by strong performances from Tobias Harris (30 points) and Jalen Duren (15 points, 15 rebounds). Magic coach Jamahl Mosley emphasized the need for reflection on the team's future, while Banchero's comments raised questions about the roster's ability to compete at a higher level.
