After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic pulled away from the Pistons 124-113. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
