If you were a Detroit Pistons fans, the team’s 123-91 throttling at the hands of the Orlando Magic was a disappointment. If you were a fan of a Michigan college team, well, hey, all five of the Magic’s players with Michigan ties outscored Pistons starter Isaiah Stewart and Michigan alum Isaiah Livers combined.
Franz Wagner scored a game-high 27 points, Michigan State’s Gary Harris added 11, Caleb Houston added six, as did Jett Howard, and Franz’s brother Mo chipped in four.
If you turned those players into a Magic starting lineup, they would have outscored the Pistons’ starters 64-58.
