Some games are lost at the free throw line. Others slip away in the fourth quarter. Friday night in Orlando? Fans think the Magic might’ve been up against something else entirely.
On May 1, the Orlando Magic hosted the Detroit Pistons for Game 6 at Kia Center with a chance to close out the series. For a while, it looked like they would. Orlando built a 24-point lead and had the crowd fully behind them.
That included social media star Kirsten Too Sweet, who showed up in full Magic blue and posted ahead of tip-off, “Hoping the Magic won’t break my heart tonight 🪄💙.”
They did.
The Magic went ice-cold in the second half, missed 20-plus straight shots, and ended up losing 93-79 in one of the most shocking collapses of the postseason. Two nights later, Detroit finished the job in Game 7, eliminating Orlando after coming back from a 3-1 deficit.
And somewhere in between, the internet found a scapegoat.
After Kirsten shared a clip from the night strutting through the arena parking lot in skin-tight leggings — captioned, "Don't even say it was my fault Orlando" — fans flooded her comments with reactions that quickly turned into a running bit.

“She definitely sat by the magic bench and distracted the whole team smh,” one person wrote.
“This is why we lost,” another teased.
“Magic saw that cake in the second half,” chimed in a third.
The joke picked up steam as more viewers claimed they spotted her on the arena screen during the broadcast.
“I seen u on tv 📺,” someone else said.
“Girl I saw you on ESPN tonight,” added another.
As head coach Jamahl Mosley put it postgame, "We just couldn't find the basket." He later told reporters the loss was "on me" — and the Magic agreed, firing him on Monday.
Still, the comments kept rolling in: "This didn't age well." "LOL MAGIC CHOKED." “Hold that L.”
Kirsten, for her part, is no stranger to the spotlight. The Florida-based influencer first broke through in 2023 after winning Crunch Fitness' nationwide #CrunchBooty contest with a foam-roller stretching photo. She's since built a 3-million-follower platform around body positivity, fitness, and her Type 1 diabetes journey.
