After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic demolished the Pistons 123-103. Magic torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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.
