In the long history of sport, few forces are as humbling as momentum reversed — and on Friday night in Orlando, the Detroit Pistons reminded a sold-out arena that no lead is a promise. Trailing by 24 points and facing elimination, Detroit erased the deficit entirely, beating the Magic 93-79 to force a Game 7 back in Michigan. What the scoreboard had declared inevitable, the third quarter quietly undid, leaving both teams to reckon with the oldest truth in competition: nothing is finished until it is finished.
