The Detroit Pistons dethroned the Orlando Magic to tie their first-round series and end the longest home losing streak in the playoffs.
Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 27 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds, Tobias Harris scored 16, Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson had 11, and Duncan Robertson and Isaiah Stewart added 10 each.
The Pistons had lost 11 straight home postseason games since 2008.
Detroit tied the game into a rout by the Magic 38-16 in the period, with six players scoring at least five points.
Cunningham scored a career playoff-high 39 points in Game 1 and did not get much support, but earlier, he had his five teammates score in double figures in Game 2.
For the Magic, Jalen Suggs scored 19 points, and Paolo Banchero had 18, and combined to miss 21 of 35 shots as the team shot 33% and was held to a season low in points.
Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane added 12 points apiece, and Wendell Carter Jr. was limited to three points on 1-of-6 shooting after he scored 17 in the opener.
The Pistons had their first lead of the series on the opening possession of Game 2 and jumped to a 14-7 lead with a desperately needed strong start after coming out sluggish in Game 1.
Meanwhile, Detroit has not advanced beyond the first playoff round in 18 years, and the Magic has not reached the second round in 16 years.
Both teams will have two days to make adjustments for Game 3.
Game 3 is Saturday in Orlando.
