The Orlando Magic made history on Saturday night—just not the kind any team wants to be remembered for. In what should have been a series-clinching victory, the Magic instead delivered one of the most stunning offensive collapses the NBA playoffs have ever seen.

After storming to a commanding 60-38 halftime lead over the Detroit Pistons in Game 6, everything fell apart. The Magic scored just 19 points in the entire second half—a staggering meltdown that included a jaw-dropping streak of 23 consecutive missed shots and a dismal 4-of-37 shooting performance from the field.

That 19-point half is now the lowest-scoring half in NBA playoff history, shattering the previous record of 23 points shared by the Utah Jazz (1998 NBA Finals), Phoenix Suns (2000), Cleveland Cavaliers (2006), and Boston Celtics (2013). The Magic managed just 11 points in the third quarter and a mere eight in the fourth, turning a 22-point lead into a 93-79 loss that forces a decisive Game 7.

For a team that hasn't won a playoff series in 16 years, the missed opportunity is devastating. But the numbers tell an even crueler story. The Magic's offensive drought was so extreme that they missed 23 straight shots down the stretch before a basket finally fell—a stretch that will haunt Orlando fans for years.

Cade Cunningham and the Pistons deserve credit for refusing to fold, but this game will be remembered as much for what the Magic didn't do as for what Detroit did. As both teams prepare for a winner-take-all Game 7, Orlando will need to find a way to erase the memory of the worst offensive half in playoff history—and fast. For basketball fans, it's a reminder that in the playoffs, no lead is ever safe, and no record is out of reach.
