The Detroit Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic, 120-115 in OT, at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday night.

The Pistons (19-24) and the Magic (19-25) were expected to play an intense, down-to-the-wire contest, and they didn't disappoint since they needed an overtime period to find a winner. Orlando jumped to a 34-26 lead in the first, but Detroit rallied back and won the two subsequent quarters, 32-29 and 32-21, to gain a six-point lead entering the fourth quarter. But a 25-19 lead for the Magic in the fourth extended the game towards an OT period; the final five minutes of action, however, saw Detroit win 11-6, so they secured a huge win in front of their crowd.

Six Detroit players scored in double digits as Blake Griffin led the way with an impressive 30-point effort, while Andre Drummond delivered a strong double-double of 14 points and 22 rebounds. Both Reggie Bullock and Reggie Jackson chipped in with 13 points, while two bench players reached the 10-point mark: Luke Kennard had 14 points and Langston Galloway added 13.

As it has been the case all season long, Nikola Vucevic led the way for the Magic with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and three assists. Evan Fournier had 18 points, while Aaron Gordon came close to a double-double after finishing with 12 points and eight boards before getting fouled out. Terrence Ross had an impressive effort coming off the bench since he ended with 24 points in 33 minutes of action.
