The two draft lottery favorites squared off in a close one on Saturday, with the Pistons defeating the Magic, 97-92. It was the eighth straight loss for the Magic, who fell to 7-32. The Pistons improved to 8-30
Detroit hit some early threes while scoring the first eight points of the game, a run that came to an end with a Gary Harris three. Harris, though, was the only member of the Magic to hit anything from the outside early in the first, as Orlando made just three of its first 13 field goal attempts.
