After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 139-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
