After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons handled the Magic 122-105. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
