Magic, tested all season, find a way in final moments to beat Pistons for 2-1 series lead
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando Magic tend not to do things the easy way.They lost seven consecutive games in March to put their playoff chances in peril. They needed to survive a play-in tournament elimination game — one that many thought they would lose — just to get into the playoffs.
