Erupts for 38 points in Game 7 loss Banchero supplied 38 points (14-25 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 42 minutes in Sunday's 116-94 Game 7 loss to the Pistons in the first round...
Impact Banchero got off to a hot start in this one, scoring 23 of his game-high 38 points in the first half. He was also extremely efficient from beyond the arc after shooting an abysmal 0-for-9 from deep in Friday's Game 6 loss. The star forward added team-high marks in rebounds and assists, carrying an Orlando squad that struggled on the offensive end. Following an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign, Banchero appeared in 72 regular-season games this season, during which he averaged 22.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 combined steals-plus-blocks in 34.8 minutes per contest. He shot a career-high 45.9 percent from the field but took a step back from beyond the arc, knocking down 30.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

Inside the numbers: How Detroit escaped elimination in Orlando with a stunning comeback

The Detroit Pistons pulled off a stunning comeback against the Orlando Magic in Game 6 of their playoff series
MAY 2 • Associated Press
Poor shooting effort Friday Banchero finished with 17 points (4-20 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes in Friday's 93-79 loss to Detroit in Game 6 of the first rou...
Impact Banchero had 45 points and shot 54.5 percent from deep in Game 5 on Wednesday. However, it was a different story Friday night, with the 23-year-old failing to make any of his nine attempts from behind the three-point line while amassing only 17 points, his lowest-scoring performance of the playoffs thus far. With the series knotted up at three games each, both clubs will meet in Detroit on Sunday for Game 7. While Banchero should continue to be the preferred option offensively in that contest, he may need to remain more involved if Franz Wagner (calf) can't suit up.

With 45 points on the night, Banchero now holds the second-highest scoring total in Orlando's postseason history.
