1 hour ago 3

Orlando Magic star forward Paolo Banchero had a clear message for the top-seeded Detroit Pistons after Orlando took a 2-1 series lead over Detroit with a 113-105 victory in Game 3 on Saturday. 

While Banchero expressed respect for the Pistons, he emphasized the fact that the Magic aren't afraid of them, despite the fact that they entered the series as a massive underdog as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. 

“We got a lot of respect for those guys over there. But we know how we stack up," Banchero said. "We know what we got in this locker room and so we don’t fear them but we just got a lot of respect and we’re gonna have to bring it on Monday.”

"We got a lot of respect for those guys over there but we know how we stack up ... we don't fear them."
