The Pistons are one loss away from an early playoff exit after Monday's 94-88 loss to the Orlando Magic.

State of play: The Magic took a 3-1 series lead and can end Detroit's season with a Game 5 win at 7pm Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena.

Between the lines: Detroit had plenty of chances to mount a late comeback, but couldn't make enough shots and only scored 19 points in the 4th quarter.

The bottom line: The No. 1-seeded Pistons need to win three straight to win the series and keep their season alive.
