After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Pistons 114-93. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
