After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic buried the Pistons 134-97. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
