Detroit PistonsOrlando Magic

The Detroit Pistons are in deep trouble against the Orlando Magic after losing an intense Game 3 at Kia Center in Orland0, 113-105.

They rallied from 17 down late in the fourth quarter, only to give up the game's final nine points and now trail the Magic, 2-1, in the series.

And fans and experts reacted accordingly.

Teams winning Game 3 of a best-of-seven series tied at 1 win the series 73.7% of the time in NBA history.

The NBA rarely sees 8-seeds beat 1-seeds in the playoffs, but it's not unprecedented.

The 1-seed Pistons went 60-22 in the regular season (the 8-seed Magic were 45-37). Only two teams to have won at least 60 games and lost their first-round series are the 2007 Dallas Mavericks (who lost to the "We Believe" Golden State Warriors) and the 2011 San Antonio Spurs (who lost to the Memphis Grizzlies).

The Pistons started the fourth with a Daniss Jenkins-Duncan Robinson-Ausar Thompson-Javonte Green-Isaiah Stewart lineup − one that apparently played eight total minutes in the regular season − and the Magic immediately went on a 7-0 run to lead by 15.

SHAWN WINDSOR: Pistons have no one to blame but themselves for lack of focus

The Pistons responded late, led by scoring from Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris, but ultimately, their poor play for much of the game was too much to overcome.

Here's how fans and media reacted to Game 3 of Pistons-Magic, with much of the criticism centered on Jalen Duren (eight points, 3-for-10 shooting) and begging president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon to be more aggressive in his third offseason this summer.

No, the season is not over yet, but there were emotional reactions as expected.
