After Action Report
In Detroit, the Magic squeaked past the Pistons 117-113. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
