We’ve seen playoff collapses in many sports before. We’ve also seen memorable stretches of offensive futility before, in basketball and in other sports. But we’ve never seen anything quite like what we saw in Orlando, Fla., on Friday night.

After taking a 24-point lead in the third quarter of Game 6 of their first-round series against the Detroit Pistons, the Orlando Magic seemed to be a lock to become the seventh No. 8 seed to upset a No. 1 seed since the playoffs expanded in 1984. Instead, they watched their offensive talent get snatched from them in a way that would make the Space Jam Monstars blush.

Just how inept was Orlando’s offense in the second half of what ended up being a 93-79 Pistons win that forced a Game 7 on Sunday? Here are some stats to put it in perspective.

Twenty-three missed shots in a row

With four minutes and 14 seconds left in the third quarter, Anthony Black caught the ball in the left corner with no Pistons player in his ZIP code. He made the 3 to give the Magic a 70-54 lead.

Here’s how the Magic’s next 23 shots went:

1. Paolo Banchero missed a 16-foot jumper.
2. Black missed a stepback 3.
3. Banchero missed a pull-up 3.
4. Paul Reed blocked Goga Bitadze’s layup attempt.
5. Reed blocked Desmond Bane’s driving layup.
6. Black missed a 2-for-1 pull-up 3.
7. Bane missed a step-back 3 at the end of the third quarter.
8. Tristan da Silva missed a 3.
9. Jamal Cain grabbed the offensive rebound but was blocked by Cade Cunningham.
10. Jalen Suggs drove by Cunningham but missed a righty layup.
11. Banchero’s attempt to bank a pull-up jumper over Cunningham didn’t hit the rim.
12. Reed blocked da Silva’s cutting layup.
13. Banchero missed a pull-up over Jalen Duren.
14. Suggs missed a 3.
15. Bane missed a 3.
16. Bane missed a pull-up 3.
17. Suggs got the offensive rebound, Bane lollygagged in the backcourt and then missed an even longer pull-up 3, badly.
18. Bane missed an even longer 3.
19. Banchero got to his spot in the lane but front-rimmed a pull-up jumer.
20. Suggs missed a semi-open 3.
21. Ausar Thompson got an unbelievable block on Wendell Carter Jr.’s dunk attempt.
22. Banchero missed an open corner 3.
23. Suggs air-balled a pull-up 3 — and that’s being generous.

Finally, the Pistons laid off and gave Banchero a straight-line drive for a dunk at the 2:24 mark of the fourth quarter to break the seal. It was Orlando’s only made field goal of the quarter.

That allowed the Magic to at least avoid tying the NBA record for most consecutive missed shots by a team (24), set by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 2017 regular-season loss to the Washington Wizards. But the Magic had already blown past the playoff record — and, of course, lost their lead.

In case you’re curious, here’s what 23 straight missed shots looks like on a shot chart.

Nineteen second-half points

It’s hard to remember that the Magic’s offense was really good in the first half, scoring 60 points on 56.1 percent shooting.

The second half, on the other hand? Nineteen points on 4-of-37 shooting from the field, including 1-of-20 shooting in the fourth quarter.

That is indeed the lowest-scoring playoff half in NBA history, and not by an insignificant margin. The previous record was 23 points, set by the 1998 Utah Jazz (against the Chicago Bulls) and matched by the 2000 Phoenix Suns (against the Los Angeles Lakers), the 2006 Cleveland Cavaliers (against the Detroit Pistons) and the 2013 Boston Celtics (against the New York Knicks). All four of those teams were on the road, by the way. Orlando was at home.

Orlando’s only consolation is that the 19 points in a half is not an NBA regular-season record low. The then-New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets scored just 16 points in the second half of a 2006 game against the LA Clippers. The Magic’s previous regular-season low for points in a half was 20, which occurred in a 2012 game against the Celtics.

The Magic’s nine points in the fourth quarter is not an NBA playoff record, at least. That mark belongs to the 1999 Portland Trail Blazers, who scored five points in a quarter against the Jazz. But it is a Magic playoff low; the previous franchise record was 10, held by the 1997 team against the Miami Heat, the 1996 team against the Chicago Bulls and — wouldn’t you know it — the eighth-seeded 2003 team against the top-seeded Pistons.

One fourth-quarter field goal. Four second-half field goals

That Banchero dunk referenced earlier? It was the only made field goal the Magic had in the entire fourth quarter. That, unsurprisingly, is the worst shooting percentage in a quarter in a playoff game since the 1997-98 season. The same is true of the 4-of-37 shooting mark in the second half; in fact, no other regular-season game featured a lower shooting percentage in a half.

The Magic’s previous franchise record for fewest made shots in a half in a playoff game was nine, set by the 2009 team in the Finals against the Lakers and … that same 2003 team in that same game against the top-seeded Pistons.

Reminder: They also blew a lead over that span in a closeout game

The Magic’s 24-point blown lead wasn’t the largest in an NBA playoff game; that record is 31 points by the 2018 Golden State Warriors in a game against the LA Clippers.

In fact, it’s not even the biggest blown lead in a closeout game. That record belongs to the 2018 Jazz, who squandered a 25-point lead to the Thunder in Game 5 of their first-round series. The Thunder were down 3-1 in that series and seemed doomed after entering as the series favorite, but gave themselves new life with a remarkable comeback.

Did you forget that game? If so, it’s probably because the Jazz bounced back at home and won Game 6 to advance to the second round and render their Game 5 collapse irrelevant. At least the Magic have an opportunity to do the same in Sunday’s Game 7.
