After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Magic 136-80. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
