After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Pistons 111-70. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
