The Pistons rolled through the regular season but have been fighting to survive the first round of the playoffs against the Magic.
After pulling out a pair of must-win games, Detroit is back home Sunday to try and complete its comeback from a 3-1 series deficit in the decisive Game 7.
Cade Cunningham has come up huge when his team needed him the most, dropping 45 points in Game 5 and putting up 32 points and 10 rebounds in Game 6. Magic star Paolo Banchero matched Cunningham's scoring output in Game 5 but managed just 17 last time out as Detroit's defense clamped down across the board in a 93-79 triumph in Orlando.
Who will come up with a signature game to lead his team to a second-round matchup against the Cavs or Raptors?
Here's what you need to know about Sunday's matchup between Pistons and Magic, including broadcast information and start time.
