In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 110-83. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
