After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Magic 135-110. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
