Caron Butler poured in 20 points off the bench and Brandon Jennings chipped in with 18 as Detroit lost for the fifth time in its last six games. Andre Drummond recorded 12 points and 10 rebounds while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 10 for the Pistons, who shot 37.5 percent from the field in the second half during coach Stan Van Gundy's first game against Orlando since being fired as coach in 2012.

Frye’s 3-pointer gave the Magic an 88-80 lead early in the fourth and, after the Pistons closed within one, a three-point play by Luke Ridnour and a 3-pointer by Fournier pushed the lead to seven. Detroit trailed by four before a jumper by Vucevic, a driving basket by Harris and Fournier’s 3-pointer gave Orlando a comfortable 101-90 lead.

Jennings registered 12 points and the Pistons led by as much as eight in the first half before settling for a 52-49 lead at intermission. The Magic scored the first 10 points in the second half -- six by Frye -- before Butler helped pull Detroit back within 78-76 after scoring 13 in the third quarter.
