After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Magic 105-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
