Magic upset top-seeded Pistons

Detroit, which entered the playoffs with championship aspirations, looked rusty and struggled to contain Orlando's aggressive defense.

Despite a 39-point performance from star Cade Cunningham, the Pistons were unable to overcome a double-digit deficit in the second half.

The Magic's victory marks their first playoff win since 2010 and puts significant pressure on the East's top seed ahead of Game 2.

Analysts have pointed to Detroit's long-standing postseason struggles as a growing psychological barrier for the franchise.
