Cade Cunningham was fired up for the Pistons
The Detroit Pistons are one of the biggest surprise teams in the NBA play-offs.
They fought back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Orlando Magic to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
The Pistons won the final match of their best-of-seven series 116-94, their first play-off series win since 2008.
Cade Cunningham top-scored for the Pistons with 32 points and 12 assists, while Tobias Harris added 30 points.
“We had a great regular season, we built a lot of momentum going into these play-offs,” said Cunningham. “To lose in the first round would have really stung. To come back from 3-1, odds against us, and to come back and win it at home - it feels good.”
The Pistons are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the semi-finals, another best-of-seven series which started on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors with a 114-102 victory. Jarrett Allen starred for the Cavaliers with 22 points and 19 rebounds as they recovered from a 10-point deficit after the first quarter.
