The Orlando Magic walked into their playoff game as the underdog. Shockingly, as the game concluded, it was Orlando who was doing the victory laps.

Despite having a stellar regular season, the likes of Cade Cunningham and co. were stunned by the Magic’s gritty display. After losing 101-112, things became extremely difficult for them.

The game itself had some heated moments. Following the victory, Orlando’s Jalen Suggs took a brutal shot at Pistons fans. And if that was not enough, WNBA star Angel Reese had another dig at a Pistons athlete.

As Reese’s boyfriend leaped over Jalen Duren to nail a dunk, the Atlanta Dream star posted the video to congratulate Wendell Carter Jr. On the contrary, Detroit will be eager to draw level in game 2. With Cunningham dropping 39 points last time, fans will be hoping for someone to aid the 24-year-old and take the Pistons over the line.
