After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Pistons 122-114. Magic's offense had its way with the Pistons. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
