NBA Playoffs: Detroit Pistons Bounce Back Tying Series 1-1, OKC Thunder Go Up 2-0 On Suns

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss last night's NBA Playoff games. The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Phoenix Suns to take control of their series, using their pace and defense to stay ahead for most of the game and securing a key win. Devin Booker kept Phoenix competitive, but the Suns couldn’t generate enough late momentum to close the gap. With the win, Oklahoma City now leads the series 2-0, giving them a clear edge moving forward and putting pressure on Phoenix to respond in the next matchup. In the other game, the Orlando Magic defeated the Detroit Pistons in a physical, closely contested battle to take a 1-1 series lead. Orlando leaned on its defense and interior presence, with Paolo Banchero playing a key role down the stretch, while Cade Cunningham led Detroit’s scoring effort but fell short in the closing minutes. The win gives Orlando momentum in a tight series and shifts pressure onto Detroit to respond quickly to avoid falling into a deeper deficit.
