After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons squeaked past the Magic 116-115. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
